Where:
- service is the name of a video sharing service.
- id is the id of the video to include
- width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
Note: The divider that appears between 'service' and 'id' is the vertical double dash symbol next to the 'Z' key. Shift + blackslash = |

Vimeo
Vimeo is a host website for high quality and high definition original content video uploads. Free membership is open to all non commercial video editors.
Vimeo members pride themselves on the work they publish and are willing to offer advice and support to new members.
Vimeo videos can not be embeded into the wiki using the above code, they require the following:
<video type="vimeo" id="xxxxxxx" position="left" width="390" height="370" desc="description">Where id is the video id reference.
Unlike the previous code, "Width" and "Height" are compulsory in this code for Vimeo. Default placement is right aligned, so use "position=" with left or center to override the default.
For example, id="1204900" is for the following video by Phil Kneen
