Thought I would share this.

 

Before, when I would go to post a youtube video I'd just use the "share" directly below the youtube video I wanted to use. (see red arrow) Simply copying and pasting that link it would automatically embed the video on the forums.

 

Recently, it has not. At first I thought it was just the video, so I tried others from various channels and the same result, just a link to the video.

 

So, if you want to post a youtube video and embed it into the post, just use the youtube link in the address bar. See blue arrow.

 

Example,

 

   - share link now just links

 

 

- long link in address bar auto embeds

 

 

Just remember you cannot embed more then 2 videos in one post, each additional one will just be a link.

I guess since a lot of the old members that knew how to do this left or don't come very often, it's good to share this again.

The auto-embed for short links works just fine, just remove the 's' from "https": it's the secure link that's breaking it.

Good to know. I guess the addition of the secure link is new because I've never had to do that before.
