HagarTheHorrible Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 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.
Brano Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Under the utube video click Share and then clik Copy link. Paste it to your post on forum and it should work. Edit: Link must be embedded ,my phone does it automaticly https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en Edited July 24, 2018 by Brano
unreasonable Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 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.
HagarTheHorrible Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 Ok cheers I'll give it a go. Thanks for replies.
Trooper117 Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 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: 1 1
HagarTheHorrible Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 Cheers, I was trying to overcomplicate things. KISS
