-All embedded videos are Flash-based; they can be embedded on pages as follows:
+YouTube videos can be embedded in a page with: <tt><nowiki>{{#widget:youtube|id=&lt;id&gt;}}</nowiki></tt>.
-* <tt><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id}}</nowiki></tt>
-* <tt><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|width}}</nowiki></tt>
-* <tt><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|width|align}}</nowiki></tt>
-* <tt><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|width|align|desc}}</nowiki></tt>
-where:
+Besides the ID parameter, which points to the YouTube video ID, you can also include any of the following:
-* <tt>service</tt> is the name of a video sharing service ([[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo#Supported Services|supported services]])
+* <tt>width=&lt;width&gt;</tt>: width in pixels of the viewing area.
-* <tt>id</tt> is the id of the video to include
+* <tt>height=&lt;height&gt;</tt>: height in pixels of the viewing area. If not present, it is calculated automatically.
-* <tt>width</tt> (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
+* <tt>playlist=&lt;id&gt;</tt>: embeds the first video in the specified playlist, and shows the rest of the videos after. With this, the <tt>id</tt> parameter is ignored.
-* <tt>align</tt> (optional) is an alignment (float) attribute, "left" or "right"
+* <tt>start=&lt;time&gt;</tt>: makes the video start at the specified number of seconds.
-* <tt>desc</tt> (optional) is a short description to display beneath the video when it is aligned
+* <tt>end=&lt;time&gt;</tt>: makes the video end at the specified number of seconds.
+* <tt>thumb</tt>: makes the video show up in a thumbnail, like you would with an image.
+* <tt>left</tt>: aligns the video to the left of the page.
+* <tt>right</tt>: aligns the video to the right of the page.
+* <tt>caption=&lt;text&gt;</tt>: a short description of the video. It shows up beneath it.
-The number of videos used in articles should be kept to a minimum, and used only where necessary and useful. Examples of this are videos of glitches, which are easier to understand through a video, or pre-release material (though the text should not rely on videos for understanding, to cater for those who cannot watch them).
