How do I embed a YouTube clip?

Postby saltydog » Sat Nov 04, 2017 10:09 pm

The title says all, but which part of the address do I insert for YouTube and Vimeo so the clip screen is in th post instead of a link via url?
Thanks!

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.

What a beauty. And a left hand break to boot... as a goofy footer surfing mostly right handed point break, that would be one of my bucket list destinations :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?

You can hit quote on the video here on the forum, then copy what is there and add back on the https://youtu.be/ and put it in your browser
