Watching YouTube videos on Scratch

763869

There's this thing where you can watch Youtube videos on the Scratch website. To do so, follow the steps below:

Follow these steps:
1. Go to any video on YouTube.
2. In your browser's search bar, select the video ID with your mouse cursor, then copy it.
2.1. If you don't know where it is, it's the text after “watch?v=”. Or on the video's link, click Share and copy the text after youtu.be.
3. Go to https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/0 (Replace “0” with the text you copied.
4. Start watching your video, and you're good to go!

Here's an example with a griffpatch video:

This is also said to be used when users share YouTube links in the forums. This is to hide video comments, ads, and anything that would be cluttered around the video player.

And that's pretty much it. If you found this helpful, bookmark this thread in your browser, or share it with anyone. & If you have questions or something goes wrong, post below and I (or someone) will answer when I'm online.

Known Limitations:
Fullscreen is disabled because of a flag set in the video player. To fix this, inspect the page, navigate to the iframe code, and replace false with true after “allowfullscreen=”
Some videos say “Watch on YouTube”. This is because the selected video cannot be played in the embedded player due to a setting set by it's channel.
Age restricted videos cannot be played because YouTube makes the video playable only on it's page to prevent underage viewers from watching those videos.
