Typically what an OP will do is insert a link to a video like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwpcpKcs1w8
Did you know the video can be embedded right in your post? Here's how to do it.
Copy the URL to your device's clipboard. (The "URL" is the address of the video from YouTube, or the "link" as shown in first sentence above). "Clipboard" is the device's temporary memory--may be a Windows operating system term?
In your post, put your cursor where you want the video to be placed. In the Advanced Editor tool bar, click on the INSERT VIDEO icon.
An INSERT VIDEO CLIP dialog box will open.
Paste in the URL into the dialog box and click OK.
What you'll see entered into your post (while you're still in edit mode) is text as shown below (the URL, obviously, will be different for each video).
Now when your post is on the forum, instead of just a link to a video (that must be watched on YouTube) the video will play right in the post just like the one below.
Questions? Fire away.
