How to embed videos
Max Blue
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:

Hurray
Nice!
For those who write everything up outside of eRepublik the tags are:
[youtube][/youtube]
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.
This does feel like years too late though.
Now that YouToo is becoming popular with the kids, I think it's great the eRep support this kinda new stuff.
YouTube became popular years ago too 😛
Is that a remix from Duncan from Blue?
This edit option only comes 8 years late wohoo
Thank you very much for the advice. I have been searching for hours to find it.
The group of erepublik should finally fix some things.
