Me and DH are having a row. Can you embed videos on MN?

[suwoo]

I know MNHQ did one recently, was it the Chris from Doodle Do webchat one???? Can't remember.

I say you we can't

DH wants me to try, so forgive me if the end of this post is filled with shite.........

[suwoo]

Ha! Fucking told him so.

So, tech....why not?

[suwoo]

Trying again...........

Ha ha, I'm still winning.

[suwoo]

God, he's making me try again.

You can embed a You Tube video link with the usual double brackets.

C'etait un Rendez vous

By the way, if you have never seen this film it is 8 mins 40 seconds. It is wonderfully mad and do watch right to last few seconds for the Awwwww moment.

I can't even drive and I still love it with the sound on!

[ABetaDad]

That should make DH happy and he might well like the video too if he has not seen it before.

[suwoo]

Thanks for your help abetadad, but that is just a link, any old poster can do that

here is a thread with an inbedded video.

[suwoo]

embedded

[suwoo]

Bump for tech or MNHQ bods.

[ABetaDad]

Ah right I understand now what you are trying to do. You need to do HTML programming of the underlying script.

[Tinker]

Is it a video of you rowing?

[Miamla]

i think its sweet that your DH is so interested in what can and can't be done on here

[ButterbeerAndLemon]

You can't do it unless you are Tech. There was a period of a couple of hours one day when the code wasn't properly locked down and we could embed pictures (and possibly videos), but that got "fixed" pretty quickly.

lol tinker

[suwoo]

DH just wants to make the point that his forum is better than mine.

We have no life you see

[KingCanuteIAm]

His forum is better (IHO) because you can embed films? I would have to disagree, can you imagine clicking on every thread to be met with "baby's first burp/smile/poop" or "my mooncup disaster"... some things are best left unfixed IYSWIM

[suwoo]

They aren't quite the films they embed though

lol at your choice of dodgy videos, have you been on my other threads tonight?

[Miamla]

nooo, they mustn't ever allow videos to be embedded by us lesser mortals. i need say no more than friday bumsex threads

my DP's a forum user but despite this teases me about being on here. i have recently found out that one of the forums he frequents doesn't have a single post by him..he's a lurker!!!! Needless to say, he's stopped teasing me about being on here now

[ButterbeerAndLemon]

Mumsnet is deliberately low-tech, though. We don't feel the need to over-compensate for our shortcomings with fancy-pants multimedia...

[KingCanuteIAm]

Suwoo, no coincidence I promise - but bumsex is an even scarier thread video idea

[suwoo]

He can't get his head around the fact that we can't edit posts. I have explained to him that we prefer it that way .

[KingCanuteIAm]

lol - well there have been moments when I thought an "extreme emergency edit post" button may be a good idea

[BigTech]

You cannot embed youtube videos into Mumsnet Talk.

Hope that has cleared things up.

Have a great day.



BigTech

[suwoo]

Well, you can Tech

Am I allowed to ask why not?

Thanks for your answer by the way.
