Once you have a video uploaded to youtube, if you are on the youtube site watching the video, grab the URL from your address bar:
If the YT link is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t11klyI91g
Now, go back to your NDL Forums and click on the youtube button in the row of tools such as bold, italic, underline, quote, etc., out to the right, you will see a youtube button as you can see in the pic below:
In your thread where you want to embed the video, clicking that button will give you:
[youtube][/youtube]
Now simply place the ID# (1t11klyI91g) after the equals sign from your youtube URL.
From above, we had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t11klyI91g, so we would put in 1t11klyI91g within the youtube brackets.
This will now embed your youtube video within your thread posting.
Posting Videos in your Recaps:
To post videos in your recaps, On your team schedule, click on the Preview link for your team, then click on the Team Stats link.
Now click on the "Preview Recap Wizard Link" on your Team Stats page.
Towards the bottom of the page, you will see the available tags that you can put in your recap.
For Youtube videos, you will see this: (youtube video) http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_zeQRmVz1A
So as I am writing up my recap, if I want to include a video, I would have all of my text typed out that is telling my story and then I would type in the you tube tags manually of [youtube][/youtube]
Then take the video link like I posted above, http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OVchjZPa9Q
Take out everything after the v= and paste that within the youtube tags of [youtube][/youtube].
So I would paste in the 9OVchjZPa9Q within the youtube tags.
Once you submit your recap, the youtube video will be embedded within your recap.
Let me know if you have any questions.
