Here is the method I have come up with to put #Dtube videos in my future post.
What you will be doing is putting a picture in your post and putting a link to the Dtube #video.
First of all you need to have a picture for the thumbnail of the video.
Go to the video on Dtube and take a still shot of the videos thumbnail.
Upload the picture to your picture hosting site.
For the next step you will need to know the web address of both the picture and Dtube video.
When you create your post click the “Raw HTML” link that is between the Title bar and Content bar.
You will then Enter this #code
<center><a href="INSERT VIDEO LINK LOCATION"><img src="INSERT PICTURE LINK LOCATION" /></a></center> This will center a linked picture to your video in the post.
The down side is, when someone clicks on the picture, the link opens Dtube in the same tab as your post.
All codes I have tried for opening the link in a new tab or window has failed because I think #Steemit has disabled it some how.
Below are the #HTML codes that I have tried and failed
<center><a href="VIDEO LINK LOCATION" target="_blank" ><img src="PICTURE LINK LOCATION" /></a></center> <center><a href="#" onclick='window.open("VIDEO LINK LOCATION"); return false'><img src=" PICTURE LINK LOCATION " /></a></center>Below is an example.
PLEASE OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB OR WINDOW
Hopefully the integration of embedding Dtube videos, and the option to open links in new tabs/windows will improve.
cheers for this mate, i have been trying to work out how to link dtube videos cause it always just shows the link . but if you add a youtube link it shows the video

How dtube videos don't automatically embed in Steemit posts yet when you add the url is a complete mystery to me. Is it that hard to do? It is needed to really boost both Steemit and Dtube
I sure do hope it improves but for now I might just upload video to YouTube and then add them into the body of the steamit posts. DTube is a great idea and I hope it bring everyone to leave YouTube but it runs horribly and has a ridiculous name.
hi, wondering if you can help me with embedding a dtube video into my posts on steemit? I have the original dtube video in my feed and i can hyperlink it but is there not a way to physically have the dtube player embedded with my desired video straight into my steemit post?
I know you can with youtube but that is more hassle as i have a dtube account not youtube. Hope this makes sense and i hope you can assist.
