Embedding YouTube Video

**etsauer** · 07/23/2009, 19:10

Hey Guys,

What is the best way people have found to embed a youtube video? I have tried using the YouTube generated embed code and copy/pasting into a Custom HTML module, but this doesn't work in firefox or ie, just google chrome.

Is there a better way?

Nevermind, I just needed to add the <embed> tag to the allowed tags in the Settings module.

NEVER MIND!

I don't know how you got the youtube video to display. First, youtube doesn't use the embed tag any longer (they use 'object'), and even when I add that tag in the settings, I still can't get the video to display (even though the code is printed out).

Does anybody have any ideas?

thanks,
Bill

Code:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-RPM7RLEFjs&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-RPM7RLEFjs&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

embed is within object bill.
put above in an html content element and it should show
