Simply copy the embed code from Youtube or other site. I'll demo with an all time classic, Charlie the Unicorn.

Nice

thanks nick

I'm confused, how do you get to record your screen and then paste it onto this forum/thread so others can view it without clicking on the link...?

Refer to the screen recorders thread in the computing forum for advice on screen capture.

You can then upload the captured video to a hosting site like youtube.

When you view a clip on youtube there is a link displayed for embedding the clip. Copy and paste this here, and hey presto!

I see, I got it! Thanks spinner

?? i can't see any of these videos that can't be right

hmm not sure how to do this.

Edited at 17:33 Mon 18/06/07 (BST)

Just copy the embeded code you'll see on most sites hosting the videos, and paste it in the text field.
