Inserting YouTube video into post


Recommended Posts

Sorry, being a bit thick.

 

How do I insert a YouTube video into a post, that it appears as a video, rather than just a link.  Pictures I can download and then insert, but that seems a bit of a faf for a video.

Did you put a stamp on it?

I just navigate to the Ytube page that has the video I want you to see, copy the whole URL, then post it into the forum message body. It will look like blue text, then appear as an embedded video when you submit reply.

The easiest way is simply click on the 'Share' button... copy and paste the link that appears into your BoS forum text box... that's it.

When you paste it in it will immediately show the video in your text box before you even post it...

Tried that but it only seems to come up as a link rather than a video and I would rather people just see the video than have to go to another site to watch it.

Then do as I told you: copy the url of the Youtube video and paste it into your forum message: it comes up like this:
