I haven been in some forums that have function support video from many sites and not only Youtube. That'd be a lot more convenient for forum-goers I think. Especially since Youtube has very strict rule about copy right and stuff. Half of the videos I posted here got deleted.
Example:

thats a good idea , i have the same problems
Somewhat related, can we turn off the autoplay feature? I don't see how its useful and just encourages spamming…
You can't turn off autoplay. It's up to the user's discretion.
Nah, the admins can do that in the custom BB code they use. Something like:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&autoplay=0"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&autoplay=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></object>
```I am not sure if this will work, but whoever coded the BB sure can tweak it to work.Everyone should be aware how rude autoplay is, and also be aware that posts with it often get deleted.
I think general courtesy is the rule of the day where that is concerned. Especially since you have to go extra trouble and coding to make a vid autoplay, its entirely a conscious, obnoxious choice to make.
As for other video types aside from youtube, thats a good idea, but I have no idea how hard that would be to implement.
