I did a search and couldn't find much on how to add youtube vids to my posts.

When I try to add a vid it just gives the web address of where the video is.

Any tips or suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

 

like this?

[youtube]pLhKh0RQ5Eg[/youtube]

find the you tube video you want to put in the post and get the code. for this one I posted it is pLhK0RQ5Eg. if you have the url ie. you just cut off all the stuff before the p , then you wrap it in brackets with youtube in the first brackets and /youtube in the second set of brackets.

 

I have the same problem

 

The forum has a plugin that suppose to pick up YouTube URLs and embed them rather than display a link. However, some YouTube links aren't being identified - which I believe are due to YT changes.

Typically, a YouTube video will have a unique string to identify the video. For example, using the above as an example:

http://youtu.be/pLhKh0RQ5Eg
or


pLhKh0RQ5Eg is the unique string for the above video.

If the software sees a youtube.com domain with a watch?v= followed by the unique string, it will automatically convert.

For example, the following will be automatically converted:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLhKh0RQ5Eg
