Mike Posted January 27, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2016 This is just a test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDkr2qm6VbQ I added this using the "source" button on the upper left of my message. Looks like anytime you use source, it will not embed the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted January 27, 2016 Looks like this is embedding the player for me if I use the standard reply box. Can some of you guys try it out and let me know how you copied the link? Make sure that "Source" is not selected in the upper left of your reply window.

Mike Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted January 27, 2016 Here I am going to try posting a link using the link provided in the "share" feature from Youtube. Note the URL is totally different than when I simply copy the URL. https://youtu.be/lDkr2qm6VbQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted January 27, 2016 This is also embedding the player, for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted January 27, 2016 Share #6 Posted January 27, 2016 Copied the url directly from the url box at the top on youtube. How to make a short video too long - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted January 27, 2016 Share #7 Posted January 27, 2016 Cut and paste from the url box seems easiest. Right click, "copy", go to Reply window, "paste" (I use CTRL V to paste). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted January 27, 2016 Ok, looks like it's working. But, @bartsscooterservice seems to be doing something that is causing only links to show up. I'll have to understand his setup and process to post these links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted January 27, 2016 Share #10 Posted January 27, 2016 I had created a Suggestion, or a Bug report asking for the ability to post just the url, with a click required to go there. Not really a fan of the embed window taking up half of the page. Don't like it. Look at my two posts, there's a huge picture, and the words are easy to miss. It's too "in your face".

That's what I think of it to really.. just post a link, you will go to the video anyhow.. and it isn't taking up half the page.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
