## Description

This plugin adds [OEmbed-style embedding](https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds) of
[Yahoo Screen](http://screen.yahoo.com/) videos.

Paste the URL of a video’s Yahoo Screen page on a blank line by itself, save, and
an embed will appear in its place on the front end. No need for any HTML code: it
just works.

(The technical bit: Yahoo Screen allows embeds by appending `?format=embed` on the
end of the video page URL, this plugin handles that for you, retrieving the embed
code and showing it to your site visitors.)

## Installation

 1. Upload to the /wp-content/plugins/” directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins” menu in WordPress.
 3. Place a Yahoo video url in post content and save

## FAQ

  Does this handle https?

Yes, it handles both http and https urls.

  I activated the plugin, but I can’t see a settings screen?

Don’t worry, there isn’t one. It just works.

  I pasted a link but no video embed appears?

You must paste the URL on its own line, and it must not be a link. The editor will
sometimes auto-link the URL, and if this happens, you must unlink the URL using 
the editor toolbar.

Please note: Yahoo Screen’s help pages state that ‘it may not be possible to share
all videos due to licensing agreements with content partners.’

  Can I use the embed shortcode?

Yes, [embed] shortcodes will also work.

  Does this work for country-specific sites like fr.screen.yahoo.com?

Yes it does.
