How do you embed videos?

[Livin' A Movie]

Pick a Youtube video to embed. Click on the "share" button, then the "embed" button. It'll give you a box with a link to embed, but that link doesn't work on TR. Below the link box are four little tick boxes, they say "show suggested videos", "use https", "enable privacy enhanced mode" and "USE OLD EMBED CODE". Click the box for "use old embed code". You'll get a long link inside the link box now. For the video I'm using, it looks like this:

<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CQzUsTFqtW0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CQzUsTFqtW0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

See the red link? Copy that. Then come to TR, and in the reply controls there's a flash button. Click it. You get this:

After the equal sign, you put the size you want the embedded video to be. I like 420x315, so I would put 420,315 after the equal sign. NO SPACES, either after the equal sign or between the numbers or after the comma.

In between the brackets, you put the red link.

The end result:
