Auto embed youtube videos
Hi,
We are looking for an implementation where when a user posts a youtube video URL, it should be automatically embedded into the post.

Hi Gursimrat
I believe the Lithium platform already offers a way to automatically embed rich content from supported external providers (such as Youtube) in a forum post. This is detailed here
I have added one as an example - so you can see how it works on the Lithosphere
Trying to test here as it is not working on our community.

- This also brings in the description and the title etc, is there any way only video can be displayed?
and do we need to mail support@lithium.com to enable Rich Content Link Previews in our production community. Also, can we get it on stage as well? Hi Gursimrat
1) If you want to embed only video then you can use the appropriate video upload icon in the Rich Text editor (if you have enough permissions to use it). This is not automatic of course.
2) Yes - raise a lithocase with support to get it enabled for your communities. Normally you would want to enable it on stage first to check it out, then move to production.
Thanks,
Paolo
Sorry for Off topic, but Kudos to Paolo for this great example video.
As Paolo explains there's currently no such feature that automatically turns YouTube URLs into embedded players. Users should use the video button in the message rich editor instead: http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/customer-connection-knowledge/Enabling-video-on-your-community/ta-p/6568
