YouTube Videos That I Post Not Displaying

[Batbrony 16,087]

Hey guys, got a problem here, not a biggie and one that I've actually experienced in the past already a couple of times, but once again YouTube videos that I post on the site have not been displaying as videos themselves for the past few days for some inexplicable reason, and just showing up as a link instead.  If any of ya'll have any suggestions or solutions, I'd love to hear 'em!  Thanks guys, and have a great day.

This seems to happen a lot on the forums, actually.

 

Personally, I always use the "youtu.be/" link that you can find under the "share" page on the video.

 

Seems to work when the youtube.com/ links seem to not.

 

(Testing both links for the same video, now)

 

(Well it worked for me)

Also, another tip: when you link the youtube.com/ link, make sure to use the unlink button in the editor -- right next to the image button in your editor. When pasting the actual URL link, the "http" immediately turns the text into a link, which, that won't turn into a youtube video.

If the Link is displayed as "https" make sure to remove the "s" from the link.

Let's see, I'll test the first solution out first.

And, testing your latter solution out right now.

Here's the basic outline for making sure it shows up as a video instead of a link:

 

- Only two videos are allowed per post, any others will show up as links.

 

- Make sure you have a format that ends in /watch?v=MYaDU78v_8A.

 

Anything else, like the examples below will appear as links.
