YouTube quicktag only displays link, not embed?

I’m actually still looking for an answer to this. If I put

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Ncxw1xfck]

into the html of my post, it just puts that text into the post, it doesn’t embed a video. Should it?

Hi,

Check with these plugins:

I’m having the same issue with a video from NPR.

<embed src=”https://www.npr.org/v2/?i=114025106&m=114057598&t=video&#8221; height=”383″ wmode=”opaque” width=”400″ base=”https://www.npr.org”></embed&gt;

Is there also an NPR plugin?

@autismne: that’s video embed markup. To add it to your posts, you must use the HTML tab – not the Visual Tab. If you switch back to the Visual Tab, all of the code may be lost.

Thanks Shane. I thought wp did this natively, with no plugin?

Anyway I installed

and this works now.

so, what if you have been using the html tag the whole time and the results in your blog are still just the code and not the video? hmmmm?

what you aught to have said to the guy was, you can use the CODE button on the html tab creating something like this…in between < code > < / code>

<p><embed src=”https://blip.tv/play/AYqeEQI&#8221; type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”480″ height=”370″ allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true”</embed>;`

which would work without limited plugins…
