Make your Videos display on eSteem Mobile

in #esteem7 years ago

I see most people saying Video is not displaying on eSteem Mobile
However I got the fixed for eSteemian!!!

note: If you copy your video link e.g https://youtu.be/sT3p7_sOX9Udirectly to eSteem Mobile it will only display a big circle with text tab here to view image and the the Video won't show up.

To View

For you to be able to view your Video on eSteem Mobile, you incorporate your Video direct link in HTML object tag provided

The Object Tag

My YouTube video link is https://youtu.be/sT3p7_sOX9U
sT3p7_sOX9U I will copy the string after https://youtu.be which is

I will add it to the attribute data instead of pasting the link directly
i.e <object data="https://www.youtube.com/embed/your-video-string" width="330" height="305"></object> e.g
<object data="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sT3p7_sOX9U" width="330" height="305"></object>

Result

So, do the same before posting your Videos on eSteem Mobile: <object data="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sT3p7_sOX9U" width="330" height="305"></object>

HEADS UP (TIPS)

If you are posting videos through eSteem mobile app use the object tag provided for it to display on the mobile app and also paste the Video link directly underneath for it to display on surfer, steemit, busy.
Example;

### eSteem Mobile View
<object data="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sT3p7_sOX9U" width="330" height="305"></object>
### My Video
https://youtu.be/sT3p7_sOX9U

Why this on Mobile?

This will be fixed in next release of eSteem Mobile, so you will only paste the video link as usual and it will display.. sorry for the inconvenience
