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.........

Ha! Fucking told him so.

So, tech....why not?

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

Ha ha, I'm still winning.

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!

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

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.

embedded

Bump for tech or MNHQ bods.

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

Is it a video of you rowing?

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

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

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

We have no life you see

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

They aren't quite the films they embed though

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

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

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

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

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 .

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

You cannot embed youtube videos into Mumsnet Talk.

Hope that has cleared things up.

Have a great day.

Well, you can Tech

Am I allowed to ask why not?

Thanks for your answer by the way.
