How to embed multiple dtube videos on a steemit post

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

I am still hoping for a new editor. At the moment i am using stackedit.io. You might like it as you're new here ;)

Hehe. Yes thats what I am using, too.

It's a great tool, but i hope for more functionality in the future. Can you build a better editor?

hi there seems to be a broken img link in step 5 and i can't seem to get this embed thing to work for my posts. I just want a embed a dtube to my post. I can't seem to get this to work your help would be appreciated.

Nice, it worked a treat.

Thank you, it was very useful :)

Sorry if this is too retard ... what is placeholder? ---type a placeholder like VIDEO1, VIDEO2 and so on.

a placeholder is just a name you give to something that you intend to change later. In this instance, you're naming them VIDEO1 or VIDEO2 so you know where to put the link later.
