Re: YouTube Test 1
Hi! I want exactly this thing: a preview. Can you please let me know how you could achieve it?
Re: YouTube Test 1
I assume you mean w/YouTube Video? That's only option I'm familiar with....
(1) You need to start a YouTube Channel -
(2) Then post your Video(s) to your Channel.
(3) To post on the Forum - Begin your Draft, and if you wish to post a Vid you will see to right of editing Task Bar Options for easyzoom, vimeo, and youtube. Click the youtube option, and
[youtube][youtube] will appear on your Draft.
(4) Go to your YouTube Channel, select the Vid you wish to Post, and Right-Click on on the actual Video itself and you will see a "copy video url" option - in this case for Mike Mite it was https://www.youtube.com/shorts/i51NPcTy ... ture=share
(5) you'll need to copy the portion between "...com/shorts/" on the Left and the Question Mark on the Right; for Mike Mite it was: i51NPcTyIPk
(6) Paste this between the [youtube][youtube] on your draft, which gives [youtube]i51NPcTyIPk[youtube].
(7) Then go to and select the "preview" option on your Draft, and you should see your Post with the actual Vid you selected. You can then either post it directly, or edit further.
I confess that the whole process was a bit frustrating, and seemed more complicated than it needed to be, but by sticking with it and gleaning some gracious & helpful comments from others I finally got it figured out.
Stick with it - hope this is what you were after....

Re: YouTube Test 1
Hi Eric! Thanks a lot! Indeed, guidances from generous people like yours is what is so magnificent about this forum. Thanks. I was looking for this exact thing. I uploaded a video and pasted the link here( the rotifer movie) but I was not able to see the thumbnail here. Then I saw you were trying ( I presumed) that thing and finally achieved after coupled of trials. So thought of asking help. Thanks again!
Re: YouTube Test 1
My pleasure mainaksiitk - Was almost as much work writting it & coming up with clear examples as it was figuring out how to do it in the first place! But I wanted to come up with a succinct, one-stop explanation that hopefully others will find of use. Looking forward to your Posts. (Enjoyed the Rotifer Movie....that's quite a Crew you have there....)
