Also you can directly embed video from source website by writing the code directly inside the text editor as shown below.

Code:

Just paste the link of video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwM_T0LWod4) inside this "[video=youtube]" and "[/video]".   It will become
[video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwM_T0LWod4[/video]

Note: Currently our system supports only these website sources. There is no option to upload videos directly on wildfact.com from your system (computer, mac, pc, laptop etc) . Either you upload your video on these popular videos websites and then embed here as directed above OR send your video to [email protected] we will upload it for you in our youtube channel.

Hope this help forum member to embed video in their posts. If you have any doubt or query just ask below.

Regards
Sanjay
