Hi all.
So far I've been been adding adding a link to a youtube video in a post by clicking the link icon, then pasting in the url that appears when I click on "share" underneath the youtube video ie. "https://youtu.be/IJZXiWj0uHQ". However, with this method, videos watched in my forum are not counted as a views by Youtube.
I've done some googling, and it appears that only videos that are embedded (not shared) count as views. So on youtube underneath the video, I click on "share", then "embed", and I get this type of code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IJZXiWj0uHQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
How can I add this code to a post? I tried to just paste it into a post, but it just shows as the text string "<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IJZXiWj0uHQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>". I've tried clicking on the link icon then pasting the code into the url field, but a message says the url is not correct.
I searched the vbulletin forum and a post from 2012 suggested using a static html module, but I don't know if that instruction is still relevant, and I don't know how to apply that to invidual posts?
Thank you.
EDIT: The above links are not from my youtube channel, I am just using the links as an example.
