YouTube videos not always working?

(1/4) > >>

Sandman:
If you place a youtube reference as a simple url within your post, it should work:
(copied from address bar on browser)...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWi29bMVSZE

Alternatively, right-click on the video and select "Copy video URL"
Then paste this URL into your post... https://youtu.be/UWi29bMVSZE

Unfortunately, if you try to use the forum's YouTube "embed" icon (shown above), it may not work!

--- Code: ---
this embeds:    [youtube]UWi29bMVSZE[/youtube]    within your post
--- End code ---
This is a problem within the forum's add-on module that we historically used for YouTube videos
This should get fixed with our next forum upgrade
Meanwhile, simply enter the url - don't use the forum's YouTube embed button

I have found another way to bypass the current limitation and have our videos embedding again

1. go to youtube, tab share and select the embedd option
2. in here, simply paste the <iframe> embed from above between [html] tags and it should work fine, just like here

And I was just thinking, "wow, it works now" after seeing your post ;)

Thx for the tip, will do it that way in my next posts.

hmmm... I tried it in my last progress post but the html-tag gets removed and it just shows the iframe text :-/

testing it here again:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rG_UVYoAYI4?si=kfBwLj_DKZpe21k-" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I guess it could be because of your admin-status, @Red Dog ... I can't select an "HTML" tag in the icon list above, when I insert it manually, it gets deleted.
