+Rckhnd Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I've searched the forums and couldn't find an answer to this. I just placed a new cache in an area with fish ladders, rock slides, etc. and thought it would be good to provide a link to a youtube video that would be entertaining and maybe encourage people to visit the location. If it is possible, how do I embed a link to youtube in my short cache description? Quote

If it is possible, how do I embed a link to youtube in my short cache description? AFAIK they are permitted. We have a local pair with a large number of them as the bases for mystery caches. I have one. I use <a href=" url for the Youtube link here ">YouTube Link</a>. No spaces between the " marks. Quote

Embedding a video is in fact not allowed. Quote

Yes, but not according to the last line in the post body itself. Maybe not, but that's what the line meant. Embedding a link in the cache listing means to hyperlink text to a YouTube video page. The correct terminology is embedding a Flash movie, Flash application, or --if using YouTube's HTML5 player --an iframe. It's all good. OP is happy. Yay! We've done our job Quote
