Help:Embedding Video files

The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:

#ev - Classic parser tag

• {{#ev:service|id}}
• {{#ev:service|id|dimensions}}
• {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment}}
• {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description}}
• {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container}}
• {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs}}
• {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize}}
• {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize|valignment}}

However, if needed optional arguments may be left blank by not putting anything between the pipes:

• {{#ev:service|id|||description}}

#evt - Parser tag for templates

The #evt parser tag allows for key=value pairs which allows for easier templating and readability.

{{#evt:
service=youtube
|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE
|alignment=right
}}

#evu - Parser tag for URLs

The #evu parser tag is like the #evt tag, but its first parameter is a URL that will be parsed to determine the service automatically.

{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE
|alignment=right
}}

Tag hook

Videos can easily be embedded with the <embedvideo></embedvideo> tag hook. The ID/URL goes as the input between the tags and parameters can be added as the tag arguments.

<embedvideo service="youtube">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</embedvideo>

Alternativly, you can also use the service id as the tag (assuming another extension isn't already using this tag).
