I've posted this a few times......but here ya go brother.

Copy the address of the youtube video you want such as:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUUZ2fKVqcs

If you post it like this, it will be a link......but if you DELETE the https:// and just post the rest, it'll appear like this

Now be careful because sometimes at the end of the address it may post at the end a broken youtube in the address and will have a (.)period between the letters is "youtube" so then you have to take that out to....there you go and try it out!!!:thumbsup:

Important note: this will *not* show up in the preview mode, but works and can be retroactively done to a link after you submit your post. Just edited a post by deleting the "https://" Part and clicked save. Video now embedded.
