Use this field plug-in to easily embed YouTube videos into your form.
For this field plug-in, enter the link to the YouTube video for the link parameter (see Parameters below), and that YouTube video will be embedded into the field. It can be watched directly from there, with no need to open another application. Since the field does not take a value, make sure it is not required.
Note 1: The YouTube video will not be cached, so it can only be watched while the collection device is online.
Note 2: This plug-in does not work with unlisted videos.
