    Paid Mod Auto-Embed Videos for vB5 and vB6

    Enhance the user experience on your vBulletin forum by making video sharing as easy as possible. Introducing the Auto-Embed Videos plugin, a simple yet powerful tool that will automatically embeds videos on your forum just by pasting the video link — no need to manually wrap them in [ VIDEO ] BB Code tags.

    Key Features:
    Automatic Video Embedding: Users can simply paste video links into a post, and the plugin will automatically convert them into embedded videos. No more fussing with BB Codes!

    Supports Native Video Providers: The plugin supports all the same video providers that the native [ VIDEO ] BBCode does, including YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, DailyMotion, and Hulu.

    Bonus Support for YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels: By default the [ VIDEO ] BBCode does not support YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels. But when you install this mod and paste a YouTube Short or Facebook Reel link in a post, it will automatically embed the Shorts/Reel videos, allowing your forum users to share the latest short-form content effortlessly.

    Improved User Experience: With the hassle of manual BB Codes removed, users can share videos effortlessly, making the forum more engaging and media-friendly.

    Seamless Integration: The plugin integrates smoothly with your existing vBulletin setup, requiring minimal configuration.

    Compatibility:
    • Compatible with vB5 and vB6 (Self-hosted only)
    • Not compatible with vBCloud. For vBCloud version, you can get it here.

    Demo:

    The mod is also installed here. Note that Rumble and Reddit videos will be in future release v1.5.

        desmomax, it seems you missed the first step of the instructions. Your forum domain needs to be whitelisted and you need to send me a request to whitelist. I'll whitelist your site shortly.

          desmomax, I have whitelisted your site. For existing posts with videos, you need to edit the posts and then remove the [url] [/url] BBCode tags around the video URLs or remove the hyperlink.

                Are you asking about YouTube or Facebook? You mentioned YouTube but your sample link is Facebook.

                YouTube Shorts is supported



                But not yet Facebook Reels. I will look into it.

                        I got the "copy link" from the above FB post, and posted it above. No preview?
                        What did I do wrong?

                        When I clicked Share then Copy link, I got the facebook.com/reel video URL format and not the facebook.com/share/r/ format.

                        Mitch, how did you get this link?

                      #13
                      Mitch, thanks for reporting. It looks like that's another Facebook video URL format. They got a lot of formats that the mod already supports:
                      Code:
                      facebook.com/videos/<videoid>
                      fb.watch/<videoid>
                      facebook.com/reel/<videoid>
                      and now they got another one which I will look into:
                      Code:
                      facebook.com/share/r/<shareid>
                      Does anyone know if they have more?

                        Hmm...it looks like the id in the /share/r/ video URL format is the share id and not the video id. Facebook requires the video id in order for the embed to work.

                        The /share/r/<shareid> format actually redirects to /reel/<videoid>. I don't know why Facebook created a new variation of the reel video URL.

                        Is this on Windows? What is the version of your Chrome browser?

                        I just upgraded Chrome from 132 to 133 and it works the same for me as before. I guess the difference is in the Facebook profile settings?

                      Why does Facebook have different UIs for the same video? ‍♂️​​
