Insert YouTube Video URL in YouTube Comments

ByNalts

picture-3.pngYouTube doesn’t allow you to embed a URL in the comments field, so here’s an easy trick to reference a video in the comments section.

  1. Open the video you want to reference
  2. Copy the 11-digit alphanumeric code after the = sign.
  3. Paste that code
  4. If you see an 11-digit code you want to watch, just open any video and paste it over the existing 11-digit code. Or paste this code, followed by the 11-digit code: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
  5. If you’re using a Mac, the Apple-C is a shortcut for “copy,” and Apple-V (correction, thanks to comment) will paste. PCs use Option-C or Option-V. This saves a mess of time versus using the “file insert” method on the menu.

Likewise, here on WVFF WordPress puts any of your comments with embedded URLs into the “moderated” section, and I don’t approve those in a timely manner. So you can just replace your own URL with the URL to where you want to link people.

What’s the Difference Between Google Video and YouTube?

ByNalts

Why would Google want to own two video sites? Oh, silly. They’re not two video sites. Their differences are becoming apparent: Google Video Objective: create a video site with no discernible character or features. Keep it as an entirely different entity, and let it stagnate as the market changes. Don’t promote the video site on Google homepage…

Sesame Street vs. Coke

The Coke contest is down to 8 submissions now that judge ZeFrank booted the one I had submitted. But there are still about 20 days for you to try. In an e-mail titled “your entry needs a little work,” ZeFrank wrote, “Unfortunately, we cannot include it on the site because your submission contains third-party content…

Website Video Tools if You’re Too Poor for Brightcove But Too Rich to Settle for YouTube Embeds

ByNalts

I’ve long been baffled by the overwhelming alternatives of video-streaming players. It struck me as a commodity market, and one ready for a major consolidation… and I couldn’t understand why anyone would pay to stream videos on their site when so many cool tools are free (which here means “cheaper than $100 a month”). Larry…

  2. PC’s use control + c and control + v

    Btw, I believe you’re due for another video. At least three people used the bathroom while I was just in the shower. I really hate the way it makes the water alternate between a distasteful arctic chill and that awful burning temperature… That or someone was just flushing the toilet for fun… Just to torment me. Again.

  4. Why are you not posting a video every time I poop? I am getting constipated waiting for your next video.

  6. Excellent instructions for wannabe spammers. In fact, I think i’ll go spam your last 10 videos with one of mine right now.

  9. The shortcuts are actually ⌘-C/V on Macs, and ctrl-C/V on Windows.

    ⌘ is the symbol for the command key (e.g. command-C or cmd-C), and occasionally has the Apple logo on the same key. Windows PCs have no option key, and the Mac’s option key maps to alt on Windows.
