Embedding YouTube videos

PaddyP17

Afternoon all.

I'm on desktop using Chrome and for some reason, when I post YT video links (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIjExHdnx2E or whatever), they don't appear to me as automatically embedded like they used to.

Any solutions or reasons for this? Cheers.

Same happens with tweets. It’s been a couple of months since the change. Makes it a nightmare to post any kind of media from mobile.

Tweets work for me a lot of the time:

... Just previewed that and no dice, but my tweets on the Sport of Kings thread work. Hmm.

I thought there was an icon to embed a link that resolved it, but that seems to have disappeared on the iPhone

I can see it if I use the full site, but it just adds some html code with no explanation as to how it should work.

On Chrome click the </> symbol, then post within the symbols e.g
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GUrweNiMko

Ok. At least on my version of iOS. If you click the embed symbol, paste the link before the string that gets displayed. Every on the “Today I’m listening to” thread can now see Amon Amarth in all their glory.
