Embedding Media clips into Forums

Hi there

Can you please advise how I can embed YouTube clips into Forum posts? Are their differences if I attempting this as a learner or an admin? Ask as googling the problem seems to show threads that say there are different rules for each user type.

When attempting as an admin and learner, I find that whilst I can see the clip when editing the post, it's not displayed when the entire forum with replies is displayed. Can understand why this may happen when a Learner but not as an Admin.

YT clips can be uploaded when performing the same process in a course Label so I'm a bit stumped as to why I cant do this in a forum. Be grateful for some clarity as I think all plugins filters are set as per normal.

Thanks James

Hi James,

I had no difficulties using attached. Is this what you are doing? Can I ask what browser you are using?

cheers,

George.

Hi George

Thanks for the reply. Apologies for the delayed response, I've been away.

I was attempting to display the clip within the forum post. So just like placing a YT clip in a Label resource - I was taking the code directly from YT and embedding in the HTML editor as below:

As said it was shown initially but not after the reply was posted the discussion thread. Does that makes sense? I was using Google Chrome browser btw

Cheers

James

Hi James,

This is a bug, Ill file a bug report - thanks for reporting. You can use the "Insert Moodle Media" option as a workaround.

Cheers,
