[ youtube:URL] or [ googlevideo:URL]
The URL is the url of the video in Youtube or Google Videos, just copy and paste from your browser address, e.g. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nTRfxikK9aQ

You can also set the width and height of the player as follows:
[ youtube:URL WIDTH HEIGHT] or [ googlevideo:URL WIDTH HEIGHT]

My first review here. I am a straight up noob with Joomla I have only been using it for about two weeks. I have tried several other plugins to insert google video and youtube video on my site. I wanted an easy way for members to submit articles with embedded videos in them. This one works... It would be nice if there were parameters to size however you can at least put the sizes in the tag. Some of my users will no doubt not be able to figure that out thou :)

REALLLLLY easy to use.
Should be more clear how to include the tags, however. Had to hunt for the information and the forums were currently down.

tags are as follows from his site:
Usage
To embed a youtube or google video player, all you need to do is insert one simple tag into your page which takes the form [ youtube:URL] or [ googlevideo:URL]
The URL is the url of the video in Youtube or Google Videos, just copy and paste from your browser address, e.g. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nTRfxikK9aQ

You can also set the width and height of the player as follows:
[ youtube:URL WIDTH HEIGHT] or [ googlevideo:URL WIDTH HEIGHT]

NOTE: No whitespace at the beginning of the tag.

Works great! It's mambots like this that really make Joomla worthwhile.

great mambot, as simple as effective. Unfortunately, v0.2 seems to work not on joomla 1.0.x serie (mine is 1.0.13 serie), although v0.1 works fine.

maybe a fix for v0.2 to allow transparent embedding also on 1.0.x joomlageneration wolud be great!

Inserting YouTube clips is fairly simple and videos actually work when you view the page. I have tried the other YouTube mambots and none work as well as this one. Sometimes, though, you will enter the YouTube link correctly but it will not work. But for the most part, it works easily. A great way to show video clips on your site!

Really nice extension, easy to install and use on Joomla 1.5.

A very well-made extension - allows non-tech users to easily embed YouTube and GoogleVideo content.

The ability to set the display size for YouTube vids is great - can be a bonus to sites that need to display at variable widths.

Great work.

Wow! That was easy. Excellent extension!

This is perfect for casual users to add video to our site. Thanks.

What more can you want? Installed it, entered the video URL, and it displays on the site just like I needed it to.

Great job!

The title says it all! Great extension!

Really easy to use and no bugs... It does what it says. Simple...

Thank you...

Brilliant Extension, installs very easy. No configuration needed, very simple to use. Good developer forum provided the only info I needed. Totaly reccomended for embedding videos.
