How do you embed youtube videos?

You mean.... this:


Simply paste the embed between the tags [ youtube ] [ /youtube ]
(No spaces)
:)

You need to paste the HTML code directly from Youtube and then enter the following:

[ youtube ] <html code here> [ /youtube ]

The video should then function on the site. Don't worry - I only learned how to do this the other day, myself.
 
oh okay thanks I'll try that. :)

Do as was said above, then highlight the whole thing you have posted... then click "remove link". It should be found along the icons at the top of an advanced post edit.

It isn't working, I'm guessing, because there is hyperlinked text within the code which is confusing it.

I had that exact same problem until I figured that out.

Nothing changes when I click 'Remove Link' ,do I just do it to the Youtube video embed code, or the whole thing including the "[ youtube ] [ / youtube ]"
 
Just do it to the embed code. It should work.

Actually.. Not sure if it is the embed code or the html code you use. Try both. One will work.

EDIT

I'll try example now..


It was the embed code..

I copied and pasted the embed code between youtube tags. No spaces. Then removed link from the two highlighted web adresses in the code.


This is what this video looks like. Just imagine there is no space between the first bracket and youtube in the opening Youtube tag.

[ youtube]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9UMedd03JCA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9UMedd03JCA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/MEDIA]
Click to expand...

But before I removed the links it looked like this:

[ youtube]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="<A href="http://www.youtube.com/v/9UMedd03JCA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param">http://www.youtube.com/v/9UMedd03JCA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9UMedd03JCA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/MEDIA]
Click to expand...

The website urls in the code are hyperlinked, and thus it doesn't work, and instead collects as a big mess. Like this...



So just remove the links from those things and it should work, as in above example.


EDIT (yet again..) - I apologise for stretching this page out with the code... I just felt it was the best way to illustrate how to sort the problem out.
