Embedding YouTube Videos in Forum Posts? How To?

Post by HesDeadJim »

I've seen several posts on the forum with embedded YouTube videos and I was hoping that someone might be able to show me how that's done? I've tried using the youtube button above the message editor ie. [youtube][/youtube] and then placing the video link URL in between the ][ but that doesn't appear to work.

Could someone get me started on the right path here?

Thanks!

Make sure you're using the normal youtube link and HTTP rather than HTTPS

Stumbled upon this and thought I'd comment since I'm one of the ones that didn't see the original link. In jesse's post above, I'm still seeing a white square and nothing is clickable. I can see the code below it, but that is not clickable also. I'm running Chrome if that helps also.

Trying it on a second computer, still the same thing. Maybe a setting in Chrome, since that is what I use.

I'm running stock chrome. Also use the 64bit beta, both work. Can you see them from another browser on your computer? Could be a flash thing.
