Just to make things easier on my friends(and for my own future reference), I'm going to put this up.

There's three possible ways to do a vid, so try all of them I guess. *shrug*

Find a vid you like on youtube, and copy the first code listed under it. Mine is listed below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhescGDh_LM

You see the 'watch?v' part? You could try to keep it there, but it may not work. Try it anyways, and if it works, great. If not, delete it and replace it with 'v/' which would make mine:

http://www.youtube.com/v/QhescGDh_LM

Also, if you'd like to have the video play automatically, just add &autoplay=1 at the end of it.

I've gotten several PM's lately on how to add a video to the updated Profiles, so this last part id how to do that.

First, make sure the code is right for your vid. Then, go to your profile page and click 'Edit My Profile' at the top. The little sidebar will pop up. If you haven't yet, click on 'Content' and then 'Media', and the Media window should pop up on the screen. Place it wherever you want it. See that little 'Edit' button at the top right of it? click that. It will come up with a box to put your media in. Add it in, and then finish editing your profile. You may have to refresh it once or twice to get it to load. If it doesn't load though, go to http://www.gaiaonline.com/profile/index.php?view=core.UserAdmin&subView=multimedia.UserAdminMultimedia and either add that vid in, or delete whatever is there and make sure it's blank. I've seen both work, so I'm posting both. That should do it for your video!!

And that's it. If you have any questions, PM me about them.
