JLHPROF Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 All my time on this board and I've never been able to get a Youtube video to directly embed in a post. I click the code button, choose HTML, and enter the embed code from Youtube and nothing happens. What am I missing? Thanks!

gopher Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 It works, but the embedded video nearly fills the entire screen. Instead of displaying at 480x270 as specified in the iframe HTML, it displays at 1547x909 on my screen.
JAHS Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 It would be easy if we could actually embed the the video instead of just copying and pasting the URL. You just change the width and height characteristics in the embed code from Youtube. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sGLoI8CGV7c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> But the embed code doesn't work on this board.
gopher Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Viewing the page source, it shows this HTML code for the video you posted on this page: <iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/esxy6ZwpZuQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe But the iframe dimensions are ignored for the video and the video is resized to fill the screen. It's not a showstopper, but it does make scrolling on a page tedious when there are multiple videos embedded on a page.
gopher Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Looks like it's a setting the board operators have to change. https://community.invisionpower.com/topic/420030-youtube-media-embedder/#comment-2579476 The "Maximum video width" option must be currently set to unlimited in the settings.
