[Nfb-web] Alt Text for Embedded YouTube Videos

Fri Sep 2 15:08:44 UTC 2011

Good morning everyone,

    Why not just place the videos directly on the same server as the site 
itself? You can then create hyper links to allow visitors to access the 
videos directly from the site instead of uTube.

 uTube is a great place to store videos but I wouldn't want visitors seeing 
some of the obnoxious and distracting adds they display. Some of them are 
rather explicit. When I build a Web site for a client their audio or video 
content goes directly on the same server as their Web site. If they want it 
on uTube I'll do that too but not without first posting it on the server as 
their site. If you visited the NFB Web sites you'll see that this is exactly 
how this is done. If disk space is an issue you can purchess additional 
space if needed to accommodate these files due to their size. Hope this 
helps.

Don,

I believe you can select an option when creating the embed link and still 
get the object code. This also gives a player with some labeled controls.
