I can’t embed a Google video

    What do I do wrong? This video just refuse to embed on my blog.

    <embed style=”width:400px; height:326px;” id=”VideoPlayback” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” src=”http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=2668560761490749816&hl=en” flashvars=””> </embed>

    I have changed this url according to the instructions, but no luck so far. Would there be a kind hearted person in here, who knows what it should look like?

    If so, would you please write the correct url? Perhaps it is best to put an extra space in it to prevent it from working here…

    [googlevideo=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=2668560761490749816]

    instructions that are linked to in the FAQ at the top of these forums. Not sure what you’re looking at. Would love to know though.

    Hope this helps,

    Thank you so much. It worked! Now I know, what to delete in the future. I did not end my url with the numbers, I had a few more characters in mine. There is only one example in the instructions and since the urls are very different, it not easy to guess how much to include or delete. This is what I wrote in mine:

    [googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2668560761490749816&hl=en ]

    The extra space in the end is just to make sure, you can see it.

    A few extra examples in the guidelines would most likely be a help? That would clarify the principle?
