Adding You Tube Videos to your reply
Asked how to do this today....
First, select the URL of the video you want to embed.
You want the part after the = sign

I've tried several times but all I get is a blank screen with no video and when I click on the Name ( vZkb7xJUmOQ) it tells me that the video doesn't exist. Below is what I imputed on the last effort.

When I want to attach something such as a You Tube video or any link, I go to that page and then make a copy of the complete url that's in the address line of my browser.
I then go to my post on here and paste the url. Cut and paste.
It shows up like this:
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact...egislatures-o/

Thanks Tom. I've always wondered myself how to embed it.
When you say "Your text here" is it "Next, select the You Tube icon and enter your text for the video, then hit OK, then add the URL you selected....." as in post 3?
I think I know where to insert the portion after the = sign.

I've done that but that is just posting a link, which works I guess. The cool people (not me) can have the video right in their reply. I'll try later.

Where it says Smile, Type in the name of your video.
Where it says Laugh, Paste the video code like Tom said above.
Then put [ at the beginning before the YT and ] at the end after the YT and your video should work.
