Video embed question for a geek ?

Post by reggie747 »

There must be some geeky clever fellows on here, sadly I'm a watch geek not a video embed code geek so.....

Can somebody tell me how to embed a youtube vid clip onto a post ?

The "copy video url" and "embed video code" etc etc etc doesn't work when enclosed in the youtube tab.

I want to include the video not a link to the video.

What gives here please ?

I used the following:

(swap yootube for youtube at the start and end, and copy the link you see when you are watching the video on youtube)

Greg, check if it's https in the link

If so, when you insert between tags, take out the S so it's just http

Works for me.
