I've been trying to embed a screen cast of my Java project in the GutHub README of the project's repository. The solution I came across was to use a Linked image but the link I created doesn't show the thumbnail or link to the video.

I've followed the solution in the Stackoverflow question to the letter, but can't see where the mistake is. I first got the thumbnail and video link which I checked individually, both are valid.

Does anyone know where I've gone wrong with adding this linked image? The below screenshot shows how its showing on GitHub:

This is the link I created:

The problem might be that you have split the markdown code into 2 lines. The following code seems to work fine:

  • Tried that exactly as one line, but it still gives the same result. No thumbnail shown. Not sure why as it seems to be exactly as in the SO solution. – Brian Var Apr 26 '15 at 21:15
  • That's very strange. I tried this out in a readme in a temporary repo that I have on Github, and it showed exactly what you seemed to want... – aspiring_sarge Apr 27 '15 at 11:03
  • Yeah not sure why, I'll play around with it a bit more, and accept the answer if it works. – Brian Var Apr 27 '15 at 12:22
