Hello Steemians,
In my first days here on steemit I came across dtube and I like the platform very much. But maybe you have noticed, like me, that it's not easy to embed dtube video in your steemit post. So I decided to create a small tutorial on how to embed multiple videos.
Unfortunately it is currently not possible to embed the videos directly. That's why we will copy the videos as pictures with a link underneath into our post. This requires the following steps:
- Open your Submit a Story window on steemit and switch to Editor Mode
- Now you can write your story as normal.
- Where ever you want to embed a video later on, type a placeholder like VIDEO1, VIDEO2 and so on.
- When you are ready with your post, switch to Raw HTML
- Now comes the magic. Replace each video placeholder with
<a href='DTUBE_VIDEO_URL'><img src='PICTURE_URL'></a>and change the DTUBE_VIDEO_URL and PICTURE_URL.
The DTUBE_VIDEO_URL you can get on dtube by right clicking on the video and select copy video address. You can get the PICTURE_URL on dtube, too. Right click on the thumbnail of the video and select copy image address.
So thats it. I hope I could help. If you have further question feel free to ask me.
Let's hope steemit inc. will add the feature to embed dtube video automatically soon.
greetings
Cy
