Template:Youtube

This template is a convenient way to embed YouTube videos on the page.

Use

 {{youtube|youtube video id|Descriptive text}}

 {{youtube|video=youtube video id or video URL|text=Descriptive text}}

Parameters

If no parameter name is specified, the first unnamed parameter will be the video ID on YouTube. The second is optional and will be a description that will be shown below the video.

Keep in mind that if you put the URL of the video you must use names in the parameters, because the URL includes the "=" sign and makes it confused with the name of a parameter.

If named parameters are specified, they can be:

• video: YouTube URL or video ID.
• text (optional): description that will be displayed below the video.
• width (optional): width in pixels of the video.
• height (optional): height in pixels of the video.
• thumb (optional): specify right or left so that it is aligned to the right or left.

youtube video id

The video ID is a code made up exclusively of letters and numbers and is part of the video URL.

Below are examples of YouTube URLs and the video ID in bold:

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G1QZRPtstI
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G1QZRPtstI&feature=related
• http://youtu.be/0G1QZRPtstI
