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!
this embeds: [youtube]UWi29bMVSZE[/youtube] within your post
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 never bother with icons, I type the code straight in and it worked for me.
Usually me too, but in this case the HTML-tag get's deleted by the forumsoftware.
I just meant, if _you_ have the icon for the HTML tag, you definitely get more possibilities than me.
That's the text I post right below the code-block.

When I edit the post again, the html-tags are gone and the line looks like this:

As I understand it, it all depends on how the parser interprets the alphanumeric commands within the brackets
Most commands will use a beginning tag [xxxx] and ending tag [/xxxx] -although the end tag is not always necessary
For example,
[b] = start BOLD
[/b] = end BOLD
or
[html]HTML CODE HERE[/html]
The parser interpreter looks for specific alphanumeric keywords within the tag brackets.
Generally, you should use lower case characters within bracket commands.
Sorry this has become so cumbersome to add videos.
I am still planning a major software upgrade with better support for videos soon.
