How to add a video
From The Peopling of New York City
Adding video from YouTube
You can embed YouTube videos into any article.
To do so, simply add this text to the body of your page where you'd like the video to appear:
<youtube v="aYouTubeId" />
Where "aYouTubeId" should be replaced with the id of the video to embed.
For example, this:
<youtube v="dMH0bHeiRNg" />
Becomes this:
Adding video from other video sharing services
You can embed videos from other video sharing services in one of two ways
- {{#ev:service|id}} -or-
- {{#ev:service|id|width}}
Where:
- service is the name of a video sharing service.
- id is the id of the video to include
- width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:
{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}
And if you wanted scaled down to thumbnail size, you could use:
{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg|100}}
