YouTube Video in R markdown

Question

Is it possible to embed a YouTube video in a R Markdown? So far what I have is

Answer 1

You will need to use iframe. For example adding a markdown video to the basic RMD template:

---
title: "iframe"
author: "Example"
date: "22 July 2016"
output: html_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

## R Markdown

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see .



When you click the **Knit** button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

```{r cars}
summary(cars)
```

## Including Plots

You can also embed plots, for example:

```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
```

Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.

Note that the video will not appear in the preview window but will when viewed in a browser connected to the internet.
