Getting You Tube embeded in Forum posts

Post by FloridaClay »

I know that YouTube links can be embedded in Forum messages so that you see the YouTube screen instead of just the URL, but for the life of me I can not seem to get it to work. I have tried the various YouTube brackets, like [YouTube]https://www.youtube.com/etc[/YouTube] around the URL, but nada.

How do you guys who make it work for you do it?

Remove the "s" in https so it just says "http://" ;-)

Also make sure the link is to www.youtube.com, not www.youtu.be or similar shortcut.
