EditTex URL  Format  

To play YouTube videos select "HTML" in the format box then copy your YouTube URL from YouTube with CTRL+C Paste the YouTube copied URL into the URL box here on this site with CTRL+V it should look something like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOq3S0VhHRQ. Replace the /watch?= part of the URL with /embed/ then click OK. This works with all YouTube videos however, the video may be private or restricted to a specific country and will not work here. 

To view PDF files select the "HTML" format then enter the URL to the PDF file in the URL box and click OK. It is important you have the full URL to the file including the http:// or https:// otherwise it is not going to be able to read it. Another thing to keep in mind is the URL is case sensitive so Apple, apple and APPLE are not the same URL so make sure you have the URL perfect if you are having problems with it.

Hotlinking is where you attempt to access the content from another URL from inside another site independent of that URL. Some servers forbid hotlinking because it steals views from their site, they want you to view their content on their site! To get around this problem you can make a local copy of it which you can view here. To do that select Local Copy from the Format box above enter in the URL you want to copy and then click OK to proceeed.
