How do I embed a youtube video?
When I use the link it just seems to offer a link, not embed the video.
Thanks

Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
Try clipping the "www." out of the link leaving just the "http://" and leave it "naked," meaning, don't wrap any BB tags around it at all. The system will know what you're trying to do and will install proper code automatically. And keep in mind, the board only embeds videos FROM youtube, not any other site.How do I embed a youtube video?

I right click and save the link at the top of the YouTube page. Paste it and bam.
For some reason, some browsers have trouble with that. But I suspect what the OP was doing was clicking the "insert link" button in the editor here, then pasting or typing the YT link in there.... Not realizing that puts the BB tag on the link, and hence, it posts as a link instead of the embed.I right click and save the link at the top of the YouTube page. Paste it and bam.

The share button no longer has this in it: /watch?v=hTMrlHHVx8AThis link (from top of page) works: YouTube - 30 Seconds To Mars - Kings and Queens

Interesting. Betcha MM knows why it does what it does from takin' a gander at that. I just knew it weren't right.
