Question: Can't get a YouTube vid on my profile

[Weavile05]

I'm not quite understanding what the directions are telling me to do. Where exactly do I need to go to find what I need to paste in the box.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Okay, take a Youtube url for example (you don't need to actually click "embed"):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5-yKhDd64s

Copy everything after "v=".

So you'd copy "j5-yKhDd64s".

Just put "v/" in front of "j5-yKhDd64s"

So, you'd have v/j5-yKhDd64s - use that, and it'll display on your profile. :)

I'll try to explain:

If you view a youtube video, do you see the button that says "embed"? Well if you click on it, you will get a code per se; take this embedded code from a youtube video for instance:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="480" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YDAPGLO-r4s" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>

Now, take a look at the part I highlighted:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="480" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/[S-HIGHLIGHT]YDAPGLO-r4s[/S-HIGHLIGHT]" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>

That's the embedded code you need to put for the vid in your profile.

Since in this case, the code happens to be YDAPGLO-r4s, in the part where it says "youtube URL" in "edit your details" you type "v/" in front of it, so it'll look like this:

v/YDAPGLO-r4s

EDIT: Ninja'd, but yeah. :3

Thank you. I didn't know you had to add the v/ in there. The directions made it sound like it was already there.
