How To Post Images, Videos, etc…
(Added on April 20, 2008)
- Adding images
Copy and paste urls ending in .jpg, .gif, .png or .bmp and the image will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://example.com/example.jpg
- Adding videos from YouTube and Google Video
Copy and paste the url and the video will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://youtube.com/watch?v=videoid
- Adding podcast/audio
Copy and paste the url of an audio file and an audio player will appear in the scrap.
for example, http://example.com/example.mp3
- Adding html-embeddable objects
Create or upload your content at sites such as photobucket.com, imageshack.com, rockyou.com or slide.com. Copy and paste the html embed code to share it with your friends.
I think many community owner will not like requirement to make the community moderated type in order to use this feature. It seems orkut is worried about spam and security, but orkut is bad at handling both problems anyway…

@Deepak
Community you were tested this feature is public or moderated?
As I remember its not possible on public community…
it works for the scrapbook but not for posts in community even when it is made public. only the links become availiable which can be then clicked
@Vivek
Well haven’t checked it out in communities. But I guess HTML is allowed in private communities only. Try in a private community with settings as mentioned in above post…
but no use at all
not all community allows such thing
@sachin naik -
As mentioned on the post.. You’ll have to activate the feature first on every community you want the feature.
