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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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)

  1. Upload your video on the third party site of your choice and take note of the video id.
  2. Go to the Wiki page where you want to embed your video.
  3. 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.
