Embed a YouTube video

You can embed a YouTube video directly into your wiki page.

YouTube actually provides an easy copy-and-paste code block for each of their videos, so that you can e.g., embed a video in your blog.  The wiki software, however, doesn't allow you to enter raw HTML, so the normal YouTube code won't work. Instead, we'll use a wiki macro.

A typical YouTube page URL includes a unique code identifying the video. For example, on the following page:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjXi6X-moxE

...the video identifier is UjXi6X-moxE. Just wrap this identifier in {youtube} macro tags to embed the video in your wiki page.

Example

The following code inserted in your wiki page:

{youtube}UjXi6X-moxE{youtube}

Will produce the following output:


Note that this particular macro was added by the administrators of this very wiki; it isn't a standard part of the software. If you have a suggestion for improvement, drop us a line by clicking the Contact Administrators link at the bottom of this page, or add a comment below.
