how to use a placeholder....
Aug. 6th, 2015 04:28 pmmany thanks to
glowing_dragon for bringing this LJ feature to my attention....since i've only been on LJ for 11 years and was unaware of this, i'm thinkering perhaps other community members might not be aware of this and might be interested in this feature.....
some people don't like videos to show on their friends page, and in some cases it can/will slow them down....hence our request on movie trailer day to please put them behind a cut, otherwise, there's no real 'rule' here for that.....now, thanks to glowing_dragon, i learned you can put a placeholder for videos on entries....so if a video isn't behind a cut, there'd be a placeholder there....
go to account--if you are on your friends page, then select 'settings'; if you are on your profile page, select 'profile' then settings'

either one you hit, you end up here, select 'display' please

you'll see the 4th option down is 'video placeholder' (yes, above it is image placeholder you could set that up just like for video too), you can select a video placeholder for entries or even comments

select in an entry (also in comments if you wish), then scroll down and save

what you will now see when there's a video in an entry is this, to play the video you just click on it and the video will show, then you hit play as you usually would
