This template allows you to embed a Youtube video in a page. To use it you simply provide the ID of a Youtube video, and optionally a height and width.

Although you can use this template anywhere (that is appropriate) in the wiki, the Videos page is one great place to start.

Contents

Finding a Video's ID

Every Youtube video includes its ID in its URL. For instance, if you right click on the Green Trailer video and choose "Copy video URL", you'd get the URL:

https://youtu.be/CBttHicGbek

The ID is the part after "https://youtu.be/", in other words:

https://youtu.be/CBttHicGbek

Other Youtube URLs may put it elsewhere, but it always be present. For instance, if you visit the Youtube page for that video, it will take you to:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBttHicGbek

Examples

Example #1: Short Version

If you use this version you can not add a space before the ID (ie. after the "|").

{{youtube |CBttHicGbek}}

Loading Video ...

Example #2: Longer Version

If you use this version you can not add a space before the ID (ie. after the "=").

{{youtube | id=CBttHicGbek }}

Loading Video ...

Example #3: Longer Version: Specific Dimensions

By default this template will apply a width of 400 pixels and a height of 225 pixels to the video. This is a reasonable size to show it's thumbnail in the wiki, and the viewer can easily full-screen the video if they want.

However, sometimes, when a video is particularly significant to the page that it's on, you may wish to display it with a different height/width, and you can do so as shown below:

If you use this version you can not add a space before the ID (ie. after the "=").

{{youtube

| id=CBttHicGbek

| height=576

| width=1024

}}
