1) Locate your yt video of choice and copy the url

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgTic6J0Fes

2) Locate the 'video' icon above the box you type your post in

3)This will add the
phpBB [video]
tags

4) Add your copied url between the tags and then post

What is snappy TV?
I have added a new media programme that I haven't activated yet so I can have a look to see if it's covered. Two things to note.
I need to get a new computer working before I can make any more updates.
Anything that is flash based won't work on iPhones or iPads.

Very similar to vine mark in that it usually has a shortish clip. Seen more of it recently on twitter sites but can't transfer it to here.
Here's one from their twitter and how it comes out. https://twitter.com/SnappyTV?ref_src=tw ... r%5Eauthor

You can post the tweet that contains the video and then click on the video to play it like you would a YouTube video.

You can post the tweet that contains the video and then click on the video to play it like you would a YouTube video.
If you look at my example above, there is a number surround by the 'tweet' codes. I have added a space at each end to make the code display rather than display the tweet itself.

In Twitter you need to display that tweet and then choose the option to share it. From there choose the Copy Link to Tweet option. Come back to the posting window in the forum, copy that link and then trim it down to just the number part - delete everything up to and including the / and then bookend it with the tweet codes.

Think you have to register with them if you want to publish videos and I guess there would be money involved.

If ads are attached , you can get paid only if the ad is viewed in its entirety . Who does that ? Especially if Ray Winstone's ugly mug comes up .
