Embedding Videos

Quick question: I was just wondering how to embed videos on this site. Normally, I managed to just copy the embedded html code and paste it on most sites, but that doesn't seem to be working here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi!
    Use the videos tab in the format window when editing a page. There you add a text phrase for your video, that will be replaced with your youtube clip.
    Just copy the url of the video and paste. Save page and watch the clip.

    [p(oembed). "text phrase": http://www.youtube.com/VIDEOCODE] there should be no space after the semicolon in the actual code...

    Cheers!

    If you´re using your pictures and want a video to play when you click the window, you should make a wiki page holding your embedded video and nothing else.
    That´s what I'd do.
    Maybe someone else has a better solution.

    To get the video to autoplay, add this after the youtube address: &feature=youtu.be&autoplay=1

    Your music picture code: @!=http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/201520/lorianslastwaltz_zpsa6a5bb90.jpg(Lorianslastwaltz zpsa6a5bb90)!:http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/brtest/wikis/music-link@

    Your music video: @p(oembed). "Walz":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygHkMR0PYyI&feature=youtu.be&autoplay=1@

    I have no idea if this shows up correctly in this message.

    I did make a mock up page in my wiki: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/brtest/wikis/test-video

    Bloody hell, how did I not see the video tab? Thanks for pointing out what should be glaringly obvious :p
