Embedding video in a discussion

We wanted to embed a video in a discussion, and used the video icon, and “embed” code from YouTube, but it wouldn’t work. Nothing appeared. We ended up making a link to the YouTube url, but would really rather keep people on our website. Any ideas? Our Groupsite is TheGreenAccelerator.com
Thanks,
Pam

Hi Pam,
Embedding YouTube videos onto the Home/Summary Page of a Groupsite is done a little differently than embedding them into Discussions or Blog post. When you create your Discussion or Blog Plost, and you want to include video:
Go to Advanced text editor, click on the icon for adding video (it
looks like film). Paste in your Youtube embed code, click insert; you
will not see the video in "preview", but you will see it when you click
on save.
Keep in mind that Youtube changed all videos embedded coding from
Flash-based to IFRAME code. IFrame is not yet compatible with Groupsite's
Discussion forums of Blog.
YouTube did keep an option to export codes in the old (Flash-based)
style. When getting the embed code there is a Checkbox titled : Use
Old Style Code.
Checking this box off before you copy the YouTube video embed code
will enable the videos to show up when adding them to your Groupsite
Discussion forums or Blog Posts.
Please let us know if you need additional assistance, we're happy to help!
