Peter Garsden Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Having had a lot of trouble with this before, I thought i would explain how to do this. The normal way of doing it by going to You Tube and extracting the Embed Code, does NOT work as this forum does not support I Frames. This is how to do it. Go to You Tube and find your Video Press Play Go to the Address bar at the top of the You Tube Video and copy it to your clipboard - Ctrl + C Return to your Post on this Forum and insert your cursor at the point where you want the Video to appear. Right click and select Paste, or Ctrl + V. The Video should now appear in the way it will appear. If you just get the code of the URL you have gone wrong somewhere.

Ron Gray Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 If you select ‘share’ from the vid and then copy link you can just paste the link in here and it will be automatically embedded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton 1 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I found that the link needs to be placed directly at the end of other text. By putting it on a new line only shows the link and not the video. Or that's what I've found anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Doesn't seem to make any difference to me, either at the end of text or on new line embeds as vid as long as that option is the one selected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Green Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Is there a way to control the on-screen preview size of Youtube videos? I tried embedding html with "<iframe width="320" height="200" ... etc>" but it just displays the code not the video. Or maybe post a reduced version of the video thumbnail with an underlying link to the actual video? I cant find a way to edit a post in html, surely there must be a trick I missed 🙂 ? Here's an example, this video looks huge but cant (?) be resized: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Video size is fine for my ‘phone, ‘pad and computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
