Please could someone help me embed a video? I have never done it before and am unsure how to do it?

From YouTube? Or do you mean one that is downloaded?

From You Tube. And I already found the post Brian pointed out up there, and I didn't understand it. That's why I am begging for help!

Like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4PLSPv ... =emb_title

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4PLSPvJ9BY&feature=emb_title

You select this portion of the url "V4PLSPvJ9BY" and put it within this feature as so: [youtube]*put the letters here*[/youtube]

And it will come out like this:

OK, so I am hoping to embed the youtube video called "Milo Yiannopoulos opens up about the dramatic change in his life and his desire to grow closer go God". and I can't find anything called a url, or anything else like it. What you show on your post makes sense, I just don't see how to do it on a thread I wanted to start.

A URL is the website address, at the top of your browser. It starts with http:// or https:// and usually follows with www. or whatever.

The URL for the video you want is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39S-HBlDmp4.

So, to embed the video in a post on this forum, you would copy everything after the = sign and paste it between the youtube tags.

Code: Select all
