You Tube question

Post by babblefish »

Is it possible to embed You Tube videos into MB threads?

Was that a test?

I know there is a MOD that can be installed, but a simple link is pretty effective, too.

I'm still deciding whether it's wise to allow embedding of YouTube vids on the site. When people post a link, I don't feel responsible if it goes to something annoying, stupid, obnoxious or offensive. When it's embedded, despite the fact that it's hosted on YouTube, it appears on our pages and has the appearance of being on MB.

Plus, as is, we get a ton of the same videos posted repeatedly.

Now, if there was a series of member-generated video tutorials or something like that, then I'd think of a way to get them up here.

Agree w/Eric.

Links to Youtube are just as good.

Won't embedded videos also affect page load times? I'm on a DSL connection that averages about 256Kb downstream, and some of the MB pages take long enough to load as is. I'd just as soon stay with links, thanks.
