YouTube videos will embed automatically, assuming you use the right type of URL. Using the URL from the address will not always work.

Here's how to embed a YouTube video into your post:

On YouTube, right click on the "Link" or "Embed" selection and choose "Copy video URL":

Back in the forum editor, paste the URL into your message:



(Note: I modified the code to accept the shortened "Share" link, as noted in the post below).

I have added the ability to embed the shortened "Share" button shortened link for YouTube Videos.

 youtube-2.jpg   33.09K   1 downloads

Click the "Share" button to reveal the shortened link. Copy the link to the clipboard and paste it into your post where you would like it to appear. In the editor, it will look like the link, but when you post it will embed the YouTube video. You can click the "Preview Post" button at the bottom of the editor to see how the video will look in your post.

I pasted in this link:
