You Tube embedding w/ new format

**mockingbird812** · #1 04-08-2018, 10:42 PM

So, really cool that there is a “You Tube” button for putting our videos in our posts, but I must be doing something wrong. I copied the url from the video I want to embed and then placed the “you tube” markers on either side of the url (using the “you tube” button), but when I preview it, the post is blank. I heard that the “s” in https... needs to be deleted sometimes which I also tried. Any help is appreciated.

It certainly is inconsistent. I've used some features and it works on some browsers, but not well on mobile. It would definitely help my participation if it could work like the old site where the video could be viewed clearly and easily on any browser or device.

I can place a clickable url that when clicked takes you to you tube, but cant get the you tube window in the post that opens within the sYc site. I am using an ipad if that is pertinent.

Thanks.

Hi Sam, I just saw your email. I was out all day today. You are doing everything right...except DON'T PREVIEW the file.

Just type what you want to say, then embed the youtube video...and post it!

I don't know why previewing it causes it to mess up, but it does! Let me know if that works for you

Bruce - still not working. Tried on ipad and desk top Windows. Previous post is an attempt and the post is blank. I did not preview prior to posting??

I was thinking of adding a Youtube Gallery. This would be a dedicated forum so member can post Youtube video related to musclecars from racing to repairs. Another thought, perhaps we could have a listing of all members Youtube Channels.
