It is now possible to embed youtube videos into erepublik newspaper articles. Here's how...

When you go to write an article; look at the row of options below the title. There is a red button on the row of options that says youtube, click this then type the web address after watch?v= in the box that appears and hit 'ok'. So for example the video I want to embed is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVLmZMjxfjw I type pVLmZMjxfjw into the box and here is the result:

Nice!

For those who write everything up outside of eRepublik the tags are:

And for videos not on youtube:
[video][/video]

I did test the videos (not on youtube) and it does not work for vimeo.

Did you use the URL or the video id? I think it will be the URL for that tag.

I tried both. I got a bar to appear with the whole URL but no video.

I ran a few experiments on pornhub and using various things including going into inspect element and finding the thing with .mp4 on the end I have come to the conclusion that the other video button does not work.
