Quick Tip: YouTube Button
Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2017 2:08 pm
Just turned on. You will note a new button above the message box that says youtube
If you created a video, and posted it to youtube and want to share it here, just create the new post, give a description and to have a YouTube preview window pop up in your message rather than just a link, you need JUST the youtube tag:
For example: When you post to youtube you can click SHARE and you will get the entire youtube URL: https://youtu.be/AqqWSkXArAE
In order to get the YouTube preview window, we just need the tag which is unique to the video: AqqWSkXArAE
To get the preview window in the message, paste the tag at the end of your message...:
AqqWSkXArAE
Then highlight it by dragging across it, (put the cursor at the beginning of the tag, hold down the left mouse button and drag across the tag until its highligted, release the left mouse button) when its highlighted, click the youtube button above the message box. It will be surrounded by the words youtube in brackets in front of and after the tag. You can click the Preview button or the Submit button when you are done.
You can always view the video FULL SCREEN by clicking on the word YOUTUBE in the lower right hand corner of the video preview window after clicking the play button.
If you have already posted a message with a link to your YouTube video, you can always go back and edit it to include the YouTube preview window by following the instructions above. Just click the pencil button in YOUR post to edit your message!
OH! Dont forget to clickthe box "Notify me when a reply is posted" below the Save draft, Preview Submit buttons if you want to know when there is activity on your post!
