This template can be used to embed playable YouTube videos to the right of a page, just like an image thumbnail. It can also be used to embed full-size YouTube videos on a page.
Implementing
{{YouTube Thumb|v=video ID|description}}
Optional parameters
If the width is not specified, the default of 300 will be used (normal image thumbnail size). To change the width, add the parameter:
|width=number
If the video is in widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio), add:
|wide=yes
To make the video start right when the page loads, add:
|autoplay=yes
To make the YouTube video display as a normal-sized video on the page and not a right-aligned thumbnail, use:
|thumb=no
Note that non-thumbnail videos will not have a description, so including one for them is unnecessary. The default width for these videos is 350 but may also be changed using the |width= parameter.<templatedata>
