A few weeks ago I had a stroke that erased a lot of valuable memory in my brain. I am trying to recall the commands for displaying video files on the board. Can anyone help me remember what command lines will display a video in the forum? Try as I may I can't recall how I did it. Thanks.

the commands for displaying video files

Hi Don,
first upload your video to your youtube channel
then copy its "video link" text and paste into your post.
- it will look something like h ttps://youtu.be/gobbldygook
or use the YOUTUBE tag in the tools of the posting form (top right of vimeo etc.) to insert just the "gobbldygook" bit between the tags.

good luck

Thanks. I am going to try it.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Don. I really enjoy your posts here.

Keep going, Don. Do not let past events to prevent you from enjoying this hobby.

Hi Don, I made a step by step of the process with images. Hope this helps.

1. Click Youtube on the menu.
2. Look for this on path on your board:
3. Go to the video you want to insert, and copy the final section of the URL, the one with letters and numbers:
4. Paste what you previously copied here:
5. At this point you should be done, but you can click on "Preview" to check that your video has been successfully inserted.
Good luck!

Javier.

Thanks Javier
