How to embed a video in markdown? Here the answer.
How often did you find yourself googling "How to embed a video in markdown?" While its not possible to embed a video in markdown, the best and easiest way is to extract a frame from the video, add a layer with a play icon and link the video url on the image. Speaking HTMLese, this is what you would do: ```html <a href="{video-url}" title="Link Title"><img src="{image-url}" alt="Alternate Text" /></a> ``` that translates into markdown as: ```md []({video-url} "Link Title") ``` To speed up the process I developped this extension that will do it for you. You just need to browse to the video and activate the extension, Video to markdown will do the magic for you!
