[SOLVED] How to embed a YouTube video in a forum post?

[3dRaddict]

The actual video, not the URL text link ?

I have obtained the neccessary embed code from my YouTube page, but unsure what to do with it here on this forum

You only need to copy and paste youtube link to the new post / comment text field and it would be embedded automatically.

Thats what I was doing.

I am referring to my SciTechPlayroom post. The link appears as text which the user has to click to get the actual video to load and play.

I would like the actual video to show up on the post, without the user having to click a text link (as I have seen on other posts on this forum)

Well, you don't need to anything special, just paste a link. I've modified your original post, there was some weird style applied to link text, so maybe it was preventing embedding of video.

Thanks, Silent! Thats exactly what I wanted

Not sure, though, what 'weird style' was applied to my link text? :)

There was some background color. To avoid any issues with link copy and pasting you can use Ctrl+Shift+V combination (that would paste only text, without formatting).

А Рутуб не поддерживается? Актуальная нонче тема.

Не поддерживается, возможно в будущем будет добавлена такая возможность.
