Hey, I fixed it! You can embed HD YouTube! (see above)I don't know why I never thought of this before - after all, I am a web designer... You can embed YouTube with HD & fullscreen buttons by using the "insert flash" button in the message editing options!
It's on the very left and looks like this:
What you have to do is get the "embed" code from youtube (make sure to check the HD checkbox), which will look like this:
<object width="1280" height="745"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IFLXhrPucVs?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IFLXhrPucVs?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="1280" height="745"></embed></object>
But, that code doesn't work on here. So, what you do is take the url from the first "value=" attribute, and put it inside the flash tag. You also have to specify the size you want it to show in the flash tag (see example below). I chose 960x540 because its small enough to fit on most people screens, and has the same proportion as my video.
Everything after the "?" is an attribute that tells the youtube flash what to do, separated by "&" (which is just the embed-safe version of "&")
- "fs=1" means to include the fullscreen button
- "hd=1" means to play in HD, and include the HD switching button
- "hl=en_US" is the language, although I think you could actually remove that part and it would still work fine
So, in the end, my code looked like this (which I'm using the code tag to show you):
[flash=960,540]http://www.youtube.com/v/IFLXhrPucVs?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1[/flash]
So glad I figured that out!
