Offer a new BBCode for" YouTubeHD" to display a YouTube video in a bigger window.

The BBCode "YOUTUBE" currently displays a YouTube video in quite a small window, about 560 x 315 pixels.

What would be useful is if the user could change the BBCode to "YOUTUBEHD", and the window was then displayed in a bigger. eg: 960 x 540 pixels.


This would all be offered simply by the user entering a "YOUTUBEHD" BBCode instead of "YOUTUBE". And this would allow users to post YouTube videos in either size in a forum post.

eg:-

Code:

[youtube]xyz12345[/youtube]

or

Code:

[youtubehd]xyz12345[/youtubehd]

You don't need any special label for that. By double clicking on the video, it will open in full screen.

Nope...?

YOUTUBE bbcode:-


EMBED bbcode:-


The suggestion is a YOUTUBEHD bbcode should do a size of 960 x 540 pixels rather than the default of 560 x 315 pixels.

Hello

In my opinion, the Youtube bbcode should be updated... (Even the icon uses an a old logo).
In these times embeding a video from Youtube it's a common task.

Maybe they need to add support (As you said) to insert videos in a better quality, size, etc.

@NeilF Yes:

Understood, but that's not the desired behaviour/functionality.
