1. Copy the URL for a clip you want to share.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cbsyUritIk

2. Paste it into a new post

3. Erase the text from the beginning of the URL to the equals sign and highlight it.
_cbsyUritIk (highlighting not shown)

4. Tap the YOUTUBE tab and you are done.


PS - Enjoy some perfect waves at Raglan. :D

I have trouble playing those vids on the forum on occasion. Is there an easy way to find out the Youtube link address, without having to view the source, from an embedded video?
