Embedding a YouTube video into a post

#1 Post by tlansing » Sat Oct 14, 2023 12:46 pm

Probably most of you know how to do this, but for those who don't I was helped by a kind user who showed me how to embed a YouTube video into my post in this forum. It is really simple to do. Here is an example of the command that you use: [youtube]*yQMtGrht9Jc*[/youtube] The entry yQMtGrht9Jc is the YouTube reference link to your video; you don't want to include the asterisks or the link won't work. I keep a copy of this command in a Notes file on my computer desktop so I don't forget it :D . Anytime you want to add an embedded video to your post, just change the YouTube reference link (without asterisks) and paste the command with the new reference link into your post.

You also can always add a link--that would not show the graphic. The link would just send you to the webpage. Just put the address part directly in the text.
