No, that won't work — I've just tried that. I myself always use the "[video]" tags, which you get by clicking the filmstrip icon. That way I don't have to worry about whether it's YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion or whatever, and then I can paste the full URL into the dialog box.

If I use your instructions posted here on a Vimeo or DailyMotion video, some readers may not see the video because of the browser they use, whereas a YouTube video will always work?

Well, if they embed the YouTube video correctly — i.e. either by way of the video string (as you yourself have shown higher up) between "[youtube]" tags or by way of the full URL between "[video]" tags — then yes, YouTube will always work, in every browser.

But with Vimeo and DailyMotion, we most likely are going to have a problem, unfortunately?

The only times my links have not embedded is when I have intentionally not wanted them to be embedded... OR I have tried to manually create them/edit the tags. I'm reasonably sure that when I have done that I have done them correctly and have begun to presume that manually editing them creates some sort of error, so I just stick with using the filmstrip button nowadays.

Sorry maybe these collection of posts should be shifted into the thread about video embedding?

Is this what you're talking about?

Attachment 1990

Blue Avians dot com actually links to Gaia, I see.

And looking at Sphere Being Alliance dot com, I don't know what you're talking about.

The only other URL I see is for the Empowered Light Holistic Expo itself, which is Empowered Light dot com.

I did see in the video that tons of products by vendors is shown on the floor of the expo.

Corey Goode was a speaker at the expo. Are you associating him with the products sold by the vendors at that expo?

Well, in a brief look at it, I can’t find it now either. I’m going to get on the Big Mac later today and convince myself it was real or not. iPads are convenient but limited, and I’m on the iPad now.

At least for the time being, and depending on the browser you use. I have found that I can see embedded Vimeo and DailyMotion videos here at the forum if I use Firefox as my browser, but I cannot see them with Pale Moon. Conversely, Pale Moon does show those very same videos over at our sister forum Eye-Rise.

If you are having problems with Vimeo and DailyMotion with the Firefox or Chrome browsers here at The One Truth, then it's most likely a permissions issue in Firefox. You must enter the permissions section of either Firefox or Chrome, and explicitly enable Shockwave Flash for jandeane81.com. Modern browsers commonly have Shockwave Flash disabled by default because the format has time and time again proven to be a security and privacy hazard, and Adobe — the company behind this media format — is horrible at fixing these things.

YouTube on the other hand now uses HTML5 for video rendering, in which case the video is rendered at the server end, not by (a plugin in) your browser. It does however still support Shockwave Flash as a fallback for older browsers.

I've just checked the last few pages of this thread, and there's no way of doing that really without disrupting the natural flow of the conversation, unless I start cutting up individual posts. So it's best to let it stand and simply return...
