Literally just stole this, and I'm adding https rather than http, because the author forgot to publish the changes. Youtube and Vimeo videos support for your book
This plugins requires gitbook >=2.0.0.
How to use it?
Add it to your book.json, then run gitbook install:
{
plugins: ["video"]
}
You can now add video like a vimeo or youtube (video will be recognize automatically):
take a look at this video:
1. {% video %}https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oru-qw-Faac{% endvideo %}
2. {% video %}https://vimeo.com/128858567{% endvideo %}
