Regards, this is awesome!

we can and will be adding additional categories. there are only 2 at the moment which you can see on the right side of the directory.

also, all users can now add videos. try and remember to add to the correct category. for now that's General.

Also, it seemes like anything can be posted? not just poker stuff?

Everyone can now add a video to the library which is the first step in getting an embed code that you can use in a post. Once you are on that page, click the "Add video" link on the upper right side of the page. On the next page, leave the video title blank but set the directory to "general". It defaults to the pokerstrategy.com folder so please change it to general. Paste the youtube or other comparable site's video link into the video url field and click "load information". Scroll down and click "add video".

On the resulting screen toward the bottom you will see an embed code that you can paste into your posts.

Usual profanity, death, and nudity rules apply. Please don't make us infract/ban you.

You may post videos about topics other than poker, yes.

Someone create a thread with all of tuff fish's videos on Party Poker from Youtube. I'm too lazy to find and post them all but there's a lot of value there.

kind of seems spammy and tilting to have someone post a "sample" so that we join their site. great thread though

great addition to the site!

agree

Unfortunately all the videos I posted got deleted. Apparently it is just a forum for PokerStrategy.com...which i guess is fine but why not just name it the PokerStrategy.com forum?

Anyway, it was a good idea in concept.

Dont worry BBV4L will try to get a X-Rated video forum one day.

Cool idea though.

Is this for people to post a few min of key hands they may have questions about?

**Mat Sklansky** · 10-23-2010, 08:36 AM

The forum is sponsored by Pokerstrategy, but it is not limited to their videos. However, videos posted for the purpose of promotion are not allowed in the same way posts are not allowed.

If you wish to post videos which promote a business you should contact our advertising department.

That would be fine. If the idea becomes popular it can become its own category.

The image for the "add video" button was broken when I tried to use it. Made things rather confusing.

suchsickaments · 10-25-2010, 12:05 PM

I guess i'm a noob but I copied the embed link and posted into my message but the video never came up, just a bunch of text, anyone?

edit: ahh makes sense thanks

**Mat Sklansky** · 10-25-2010, 12:08 PM

you need to post the bb code from a video which has already been added to the directory.

This forum, and embedding video content in general, is undoubtedly a good idea, but why is it being allowed to post threads with virtually any random youtube link in this forum. For it to be most properly useful, why not keep this for videos which relate to poker and strategy while other content and other videos could go where they would be better suited. So for instance, sports videos could be linked in SE, political videos could go in Politics, most of the random stuff which is in here, such as the "bacon porn" thread, stuff which persons with a certain sense of humour obviously find mildly amusing, could go in Laughs or Links, etc. I'd even say that the videos which relate to televised poker tournaments should also go in TV poker, as they're not really strat videos either.
