The pay-to-use vBulletin can embed youtube or google video into the message. So can phpBB 3 !!!

Firstly, logon to your Administration Control Panel (ACP) using your administrator account.

Secondly, click on the Posting tab, you will arrive at here:

Thirdly, click the Add a new BBCode button in the bottom right hand corner:

If everything is successful, do the following:

# Enter the following under BBCode Usage:

[youtube]{TEXT}[/youtube]

# Enter the following under HTML replacement:

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{TEXT}" wmode="transparent" style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="">

And if you would like the youtube tag to appear on the posting page like as below,

# Ensure that Display on posting page is checked.

You should now have a YouTube button available from your posting interface.

Lastly, to embed the YouTube or Google video, copy the embed URL and paste it in between the youtube tag, like as below:

So, that’s all for today. phpBB3 can still fight with vBulletin given the available resources and the right configurations.
