Embedding youtube videos

[itsnotanova]

Why can I only embed a youtube video on some threads but not the others?

Just wrap the address in URL tags

[u r l] your link here [/u r l] (no spaces)

Not as fancy as a true embed, but it works.

It's random... I don't know what causes it either...

Sorry I should have said not working for the post where I used the [url]
It works if I cut and paste though. I see some post where guy's are able to attach a video and you can see it without opening a separate window. I'd prefer to do that then a link. Not sure how though?

It doesn't look like this site allows embedded videos. Normally, you'd get the embed code by clicking "Share", then "Embed" on your video, then wrap that in HTML tags ( [HTML] ), but it does nothing here:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZRFV_rATtF8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
