YouTube video on your flash arcade site

I know, most webmasters do not consider arcade scripts as a good platform for video publishing, but that does not mean you can’t put a movie on your arcade site. After all, this will make your site a bit more interesting and I’m sure, your visitors will enjoy watching newest video game review or any other games-related videos.

Please note, ProArcadeScript v1.3 or higher is required to publish external media.

So, how can we publish a video file from Youtube?

We’ll do that in 4 easy steps:

  • Go to youtube.com (or another site offering video movies) and find the movie to publish. Now take the thumbnail picture and give it any suitable name. You will upload this thumbnail to your own site later.
  • Now open video page and copy the "Embed" code to clipboard.
  • Finally, log in to your admin CP, click the "Add game" button and fill up the form as shown on the screenshot (embedded game code is pasted from the clipboard, width and height are taken from that code). Submit the form.

That’s it, you can also check up the result on this page
