I have a question/problem and thought you know or could find the answer or solve the problem for me.

I use to be able to post a video. I would go to a page that had the video, ( say Youtube ) copy the link and then be able to post it in one of the threads on this site. It would show the video and play it right in the thread that I had posted it in. Now ( all of a sudden? ) when I post it what it shows is the link, not the video. I have to click on the link which opens a new browser and takes you to the link for the video to play.

Any ideas? Is there a setting that was changed? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Uncle Larry.

 

Correct Youtube videos used to display after pasting to videos URL into the message.

Some forums are sensitive on how you embedd it but all three ways to do it no longer display the video, only the link

Yep , my understanding is they have killed the embedding function. You can link to a vid but it will now open a new browser page to view it.

So Tim ... Is there a fix or is it just another "fact of life" ??? :>)

 

It got moved to "Testing Area"??? Why??? No Idea???

Personally, if there's a description of the video and a link, I'll click it. I'm not THAT lazy.

It's in the Forum Issues section, not the Testing section.

 

I got curious and tried an experiment. In the testing area, I tried to post a music video from VEVO and all I ended up seeing posted was a link to the video, I wonder if it really is a thing with YouTube or if it's something else. Just curious

 

Same thing here, no more embedded videos, only a link shows.
