Embedding Youtube Videos

[imastawka]

 

What's different?         

What has youtube changed that now makes it impossible         

to embed their videos and post them?  (or at least for me)

I've never had a problem before.   It keeps telling me             

the address is invalid.  I've tried every which way but loose    

If someone can please tell me how to embed them,

I would be much obliged and forever grateful.

I've noticed others have posted videos, but they are tiny.

They are able to be shown full screen though

I would offer chocolate, but I ate it - sorry

No chocolate huh? What a gyp..

But, Im feeling generous..so here goes

I click on the insert/edit link (up there, next to the insert emoticon)

and then a box comes up I click and drag the website addy (from another screen) to the 

'URL' box and

then again to the 'text to display' box

then put a title on it,

then check its got the Target 'open in current page' and

then click OK and then done.

You WERE joking about the chocolate, werent you????

(I will be waiting...)

Youcan that's not an embed - just a link

Joono I c & p the url and it gives me this -

 

Please enter a valid video URL. For example, a YouTube video URL might look like 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abc123', where 'abc123' is the ID of a YouTube video.

So I do all that and....nothing, same message comes up

Same way as always Goldenjet.  Copy the address bar in youtube.  Click on the video button next to the picture button here and paste the video url.

Click on preview and insert the video.  It wasn't working for me last week or the week before so not sure what the problem is sometimes.

That's what you get, for not sharing you chocolate....

I always use links 

You mean you want this image to be larger?

[j*oono]

Thanks Joono I'll try...again

[youcandoityoucandoityoucandoit]

Maybe try a different youtube addy...I dont seem to be having a problem...?

[imastawka]

Youcandoit,  You  can do it apparently!   Thank you heaps           

Click and drag.   Never done that before.  Only c & p'd the URL

Hey presto!

  Hope it works

Didn't want to do that one specifically- just an example
