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,
Skip

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

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.

This explains the whole thing:

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?

Seems you are trying to embed content that either no longer exists or the privacy settings are not public.

Is this your video? As in something you uploaded? If yes check the sharing settings.

skipdup's post was from 2010

sonofa*****.

I hate when that happens.

Yep it works :)

I can't embed using Chrome, but can if I use internet explorer, been that way a month or two. Took a while to figure out I could do it with IE

Hmmm, that's weird... I'm using chrome to embed. See if this works:

Just paste the text in the thread and voila!:

I use chrome also.

Right click on video, select "copy embed code"
then go to your post, right click select "paste"

Once you copied the embeded URL, you then have to select the icon for Insert Link. Then paste the copied embeded URL into the box and you're good to go.

Is this only available on a desk or lap top? I don’t see the <embed> option on my iPad.

What about embedding on an iPhone?

All I can do is post the link.
