Hi Folks,

I would like to include a welcome video and announcement videos to our UBB in one of the boxes on the left. I'd rather not just link to YouTube (though that might be okay if it's the best option). Is there a way to have a video file on our site and make it automatically fit in the size of the box on the left? (I hope this makes sense).

Thanks,

Brian

I don't think you could automatically make it the correct size (you'd probably need to do that while recording the video. Once you have it recorded it and it streams properly, it should just be a matter of putting it inside one of the custom islands.

You'll have to set the height and width in the embed code from the video at youtube; their embed code will have the height and width defined in it, simply update it to a size that will look "ok" in the sidebar.
