Use YT for YouTube videos and VM for Vimeo videos.

Returns a character vector of an HTML iframe tag that embeds a YouTube or Vimeo video.

Note

For YouTube videos it may be better to utilize a slide layout class as a slide with a link followed by a slide with a youtube video may cause the link to become in active. To create a youtube slide use the form: --- .YT yt:ArHQjQyIS70 &youtube where the portion after yt: is the youtube tag.
