how to embed youtube video
 

I used to know how to do this. Now, I can't figure out for the life of me. And I can't find through search.

Will someone take mercy and remind me what to do to embed a youtube video to a post.

Thanks,

Go to the video you want on youtube.

Under the video there's a button called "embed".

Click on it, and it will open a box with the "embed code". Select everything in that box and "copy" it. Go to your PPOT post, and paste it into your post.

Some videos will say "embedding disabled by request" or something and you can't do it.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. But, what I get is...
<object width="660" height="525"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pbaupvV72sY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&co lor2=0x999999&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pbaupvV72sY&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&co lor2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="660" height="525"></embed></object>

WTH!?!?
Figures. No idea what I did different.

Thanks.

I guess you can't post videos in the classifieds section.

Thanks again.

Or you can put your curser on the youtube vid, left click, a window will pop up that says "embed", left click that, go to wherever you want to post and click paste.

Ha, that's smart. I just copy the whole url and paste it but it's much more slick doing it that way.

For some reason I have to put the code in quotes for it to work. as in:

"copied code"

If I just cut and paste what is indicated as the embed code it does not work for me.

test also

If I put the copied code in quotes it works for me....go figure.....

Right click, click on embed code, paste in the thread. If you do it AFTER the opening commercial it strips that off.

must be disabled there

That's what finally got it to work for me (copy embed code, paste and control-enter)

I did not know that part!

Also after cut and pasting the embeded video...If I try to preview post, the video doesn't show up, but it will be there if I just post it. Might be something with my computer?
