Integrating vBulletin with YouTube

We have a vBulletin forum that I want to integrate with YouTube. We have added the BBCode, so members can embed YouTube videos that play within the thread -- which is good. We have also set up a channel, where our company will post instructional videos.

I would like to extend our community where our members can easily post their own videos and see other community members videos. We could do this by creating a "Video" forum within vBulletin, and asking our members to post their videos on YouTube, then embedding them in the forum. But that doesn't sound great.

It doesn't build our community on YouTube.

Is there a community function in YouTube that would do this? Can I set up our YouTube channel to accept user produced video?

Thanks for any input on this.

There are several mods on vBorg that can do this. I would have linked you to one, but there are several, and it's likely best you search yourself and pick which one suits your needs the best.

Actually, the real reason I didn't give a link was because most of the thread titles are misleading in that they just tweak out the bbcode like ya already got... but there are still options for you there.

Best of luck! And if you pick one, share it and let us know how it works for you.
Q

 

Google is opening up the YouTube API and as a result I expect to see several new YouTube hacks for vBulletin

 

Thanks all,
I will do a search. For now, I have set up a Channel for content we will produce, and a Group for content members will produce -- and invited everyone to embed the YouTube video in their threads in the vBulletin forum.

That will get us started.
