Embed Youtube Video From Url

Im new in all this amazing thing called front end and i´m already working in a project but i need a little help with this: So the thing is that the user could enter a youtube URL

Solution 1:

if you have youtube url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGbxmsDFVnE, you can embed it by taking the video id off the end and putting at the end of youtube.com/embed/

you can get the video id using string.split()

var url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGbxmsDFVnE";
var id = url.split("?v=")[1]; //sGbxmsDFVnEvar embedlink = "http://www.youtube.com/embed/" + id; //www.youtube.com/embed/sGbxmsDFVnE

then just make that embed link the source to an existing iframe on the page

document.getElementById("myIframe").src = embedLink;

example of an iframe

<iframe id="myIframe" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
