YouTube videos in Markdown – via Markdown Cheatsheet · adam-p
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/28
Clever, as I didn’t know you could directly refer to the YouTube preview image using the “/0.jpg” trick:
Youtube videos
They can’t be added directly but you can add an image with a link to the video like this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE " target="_blank"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE/0.jpg" alt="IMAGE ALT TEXT HERE" width="240" height="180" border="10" /></a>Or, in pure Markdown, but losing the image sizing and border:
[](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID_HERE)

Gif using gifs.com
If you allow using resources outside of YouTube, then you can use gifs.com to render the video into a gif image and use that image in the above construct.
I tried that with a few seconds from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHOpw55TI-U which resulted in https://gifs.com/gif/liquid-prompt-Lg1kPp and the gif file https://j.gifs.com/Lg1kPp.gif

With the continued progress of non-local storage and distributed computing., I wonder how this is evolving over time:
