PicasaWeb Video in WordPress

February 16, 2008 · 3 Comments

As a follow-up to my previous post about getting the address for a PicasaWeb video, here is an example of a PicasaWeb video embedded in a WordPress.com blog:

Note that I did have to cut the phrase “&autoplay=yes” off the end of the original address so that it wouldn’t automatically start playing.

 In WordPress it is easy to create the code for the video; you do it in this format:

[ googlevideo=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%... ]

(Just leave out the space between the brackets and the rest of the text).

    Is there anyway to freeze frame the initial image rather that just have a blank black box initially and still keep it from autoplaying?

    Good question - I haven’t found a way, but if anyone else has, please share!

    same question ans the first poster…loved to see it capture any frame to have an image instead of a black box…but no worries…still works FANTASTIC!
