Nope guess I need some help here

put a vid on youtube for the first time and would like to post it in a thread

 

While the video is playing, copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into a post.


I deleted the [vid] & [/vid] from your post above

 

just tried it again in the performance thread it worked once and I am trying to post another and it is not working....

when i preview post it has the link in type form not the vid...

here goes another try here

Under the video, there is a button called "Share".

Click it.

Where it says...

Paste this link into an email or instant message:

Copy the next part, and paste it into a post.

 

yea dean hhmmmm , i tryed one in the performance from my daughters computer and it worked , now it won't work...

I am going to reboot my comp and try again

brb

 

It isn't your computer. Sorry

 

ok Jake here it goes , if it don't work i am going to try to reboot

 

ok here we go now it is working , wonder why when I copy from the address bar it did not work

 

That's how I've always done it in the past.

Jake knows more about videos :thumbsup: so I'll bow out.

 

Right on Thank you Jake and Dean , I just tried and posted the last two vids in the performance section and it worked flawlessly....

wow I learned to post pics in threads instead of thumbs and how to use an ipod , put the vid on you tube and now here...

guess you can teach and old cat new tricks:thumbsup:

thanx guys :beers:

 

The address bar was showing the "url" or "webpage" for your youtube channel, not that specific video. Only the "url" for the video itself will embed the video in your post.

Look.....

The part in bold is what tells your internet program to go to your "channel". This is the 'url' for the video only.

I put a space in there so that you can see the code for the video without embedding the video.

Make sense?

The best way to get only the code for the video itself is with the share button.
