Videos on Wiki
How do you add a video to a page? It varies, depending on where the video is hosted. There are two recommended options for posting videos on Wiki:
- For large video files (greater than 32MB) the files must be hosted on an external server and a URL reference is used. See the Videoflash extension below.
- For video files smaller than 32MB, the videos can be uploaded and hosted directly on Wiki.
Embed a YouTube video
You need to use iframes to embed your YouTube videos. Here's how to do it:
- Open the YouTube page of the video you want to embed.
- Click on the Share button that appears below the video window, and select the "Embed" option.
- Copy the code for the iframe tag
- Paste the code in your Wiki page
- Add an HTML tag.
<html><iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X7gWEgHeXcA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></html>
<html><iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X7gWEgHeXcA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></html>
Embedding a video hosted on another third party site (somewhere else on the Web)
- Upload your video on the third party site of your choice and take note of the video id.
- Go to the Wiki page where you want to embed your video.
- Add the following wiki syntax:
Syntax:
<video type="service" id="1234abc" desc="Here's lovely video"/>
Detailed Usage Options
Full syntax:
<video type="service" id="1234abc" width="270" height="203" desc="Here's lovelly video" frame="true" position="right" size="full" allowfullscreen="true"/>
Usual syntax:
<video type="service" id="1234abc" desc="Here's lovely video"/>
Note: blip.tv requires width2 parameter for proper scaling.
