How to add an embedded YouTube video phpMyFAQ 3.1.13

You can simply paste the HTML snippet from youtube.com into the FAQ entry, when you switch in the editor to the source code view.

And if you always wanted to display the most recent video from a specific YouTube-Channel, then use my following solution:

First get the Channel-ID, either from the YT source code or, for example, with this: https://seostudio.tools/youtube-channel-id

The Channel-ID always starts with UC. We change that and make UU from it.

The link then should look like this:
https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=UU0w4AA42ItXQEb9aZld87-w

In phpMyFAQ, click on <> for the code view, then enter the following:

<div class="videoWrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&amp;list=UUhere-the-remaining-ID"></iframe></div>

This will display the most recent video from the YT-Channel of your choice. They post a new one? ...already on your site! (Cool thing?)

Let's assume you also want to display the 3 previous videos (perhaps a little smaller below?) that's also very easy.

To the ID from the first example, simply add &index=2 for the second-to-last video. Or a 3 for the one before, etc.

A link for older Videos could look like this:
https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=UU0w4AA42ItXQEb9aZld87-w&index=2

With a bit of CSS you can display the whole thing in full width:

.videoWrapper {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */
height: 0;
}
.videoWrapper iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

And that's it already. Amazing or? Hope it helps! :) Greetz Chris
