New Feature: Embed videos into posts (and an option to switch them off)

[Erwin]

Hi

You can now post links to online videos like Youtube and they will automatically embed into your post.

Members who don't want to see embedded videos can choose to switch them all off in UserCP, Options, Thread Viewing.

Obviously videos are subject to forum and subforum rules. Let me know how this goes.

It's turned off. If that turning off quits working I'm out of here.

Don't post the embedding HTML code that YouTube provides for example, just post the LINK to the YouTube video, the video will automatically be embedded.

Example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwrxPXvvaCs

Will this only work for YouTube ?
Or could I post Videos that I host on my own sites ?

Only Youtube and some other video services. The best way to find out is to post the link and see if it automatically embeds or not.
