Would like to embed some video from YouTube, but when I use the 'Video' button I see the link but no player. What's the right way to do it?
Find the video on youtube.
Copy the URL.
Click the video button.
Paste in the URL.
Send post.
Like this:
you don't see the player come up in the Post preview screen (well i never have) but when you send the post it just works
ok, here's a try.
worked, no player shown in preview. good tip, Rusty Mac.
Find the video on youtube.
Copy the URL.
Click the video button.
Paste in the URL.
You can also get the Video URL from YouTube by clicking the "Share" button underneath the video, then ticking the "Long Link" option in the "Show options" bit.
Bit more of a faff, but useful when you get a really long YouTube URL in the address bar with a whole bunch of extra guff in it.
Again after a bit of research!
I done a video about embedding videos which I have embedded into this post so that posters can see how to embed a video.
