Well that back fired.

Copy the video URL and then click Video Tag, paste the URL and then click video again.

Ah are you using Youtubr App?

It didn't help Rusty as it didn't show what I was after.

Right that's a test from the Youtube app, it won't work unless we change it to.

I might ask the Web gurus to change the code so it accepts links from the App.

Actually, I have a lot of trouble posting vids from Youtube, on here.

Not that I post many of them, but when I want to, its pants.

I tried earlier today and just gave up and posted the url instead.
🙁

Solo your link earlier had too much unnecessary info in it so it won't work.

You only need.

and place that in the text box when you click the Video tag in posts.

I think you need to change the 'option' to 'use long address' or something, as the app makes a smaller www. address that STW gets in a hissy fit over...

@Drac has it above - it can be easier to grab the URLs using the Safari view on youtube rather than the app but as above if you use the share / email button you can cut/paste the stuff you need from email to stw

Unless something has changed on the forum recently you need to delete the 's' from 'https' too
