Examples
- Default usage
{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA}}
- Custom width
{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|720}}
- Custom width and height
{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|560|280}}
- Inline alignment
{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|align=inline}}
{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|align=inline}}
- Custom caption
{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA|caption=''Minecraft'' official trailer.}}
- With an image frame
Sometimes it makes sense to put the video in an image frame so that it formats like an image:
{{FakeImage|{{yt|MmB9b5njVbA}}|Minecraft Trailer from 2011|align=right}}
This can unclutter the pages a lot. You also get to add a caption.
