posting youtube vids

[Sazerac]

Will someone be kind enough to walk/talk me through the process

of how to post a video so the player is on the post, not just the link.

If you imagine I am a numpty, you will be correct and I appreciate slow and obvious direction.

I am working from a pc.

Thank you very much

and be aware there may be more Q & A involved for me.

The easiest way is to go to YouTube.  When the video you want to post is up right click at the top on the address bar.  The address will turn blue and give you options.  Click "copy" and then come back here, right click again and click "paste."  The video will show up as an address, but when you click post the video will appear.

 

Nancy explained it to me when I first got here, so...shout out to Nancy!

Have I mentioned how much I love both Jennifer Nettles and The Voice?

No, apparently not.  To do the above, I had to click share and then copy that address.

[Gemzee]

And just paste it in the reply box? Because when I do that it comes out as a link:

Too weird..I get a message that my video has been automatically embedded, and if gives me the option to change to a link.  Do you get any kind of comment bos?

[Gemzee]

Yes, only copy and paste link in reply box.

After paste you may see:

Pasted as rich text.   Paste as plain text instead

You have to click on: "paste as plain text..."

or link is automatically embedded (it may take some time):

Your link has been automatically embedded.   Display as a link instead

But you can always return to link:  "Display as a link..."
