general questions How Do You Post A YouTube Video In A Post?

[Love//Hack 819]

I'm trying to post a song in this thread:

https://mlpforums.com/topic/55344-song-currently-stuck-in-your-head-right-now/page-285#entry3804450

but I don't know how to post a video. And I don't mean linking it. How do you post the actual video in the reply but not as a link like all the other posts?

It took me a while to figure this out too but I'm pretty sure it's in the top left of the message box there is a button that when hovered over says "Special BBCode", hit that then scroll down to Media then insert your link in Media URL and boom should be done.

Just paste the url. Make sure there's nothing else at the end of it.

Edit: Make sure you aren't posting from the mobile version of the site (m.youtube)

The link just needs to be in "http"

Just remove the "s"

Just add the link. It should show it as a video automatically.

Yeah, you're posting from the mobile version of the site. Just remove the "m." at the beginning of the url, and it should show up like this:
