BBC News video embed trial

Interesting to see that BBC News is trialing the use of a Flash player which will allow users to embed video clips into their web pages (T&Cs plus code for the video below here). So, in the spirit of a trial, let’s give it a go using a report on the current UK alternatives to the ‘i-Hype-Phone’.

Easy to do for anyone familiar with embedding code and works fine for me in WordPress and on MySpace. Work OK for you?

  4. It’s still under trial as far as I know. No doubt results of which will determine if/when it’s rolled out. Only date I’ve seen is that the trial started in January.
