Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2020 2:27 pm
Either create a new topic, or when replying to another comment, you can add a YouTube video.
Create a "New Topic", or reply to someone elses topic.
Add any comment you might have about the video, if you want to add a comment.
Place the cursor under your comment so the YouTube video will be on another line (eg. under your comment)
That will insert the following code (see red dot "1" in screenshots below video):
[youtube][/youtube]
Then, get the YouTube URL, from YouTube. If you click the "Share" button, it will give you a URL to copy, that will look something like this eg. (see red dot "2" in screenshots below video)
Then copy JUST the ID part of the YouTube URL in between the code tags.
The full URL will be eg. https://youtu.be/kQd57Ua2tW0
So the code with look like eg. [youtube ] kQd57Ua2tW0 [ /youtube ] (spaces added to show the code and not the video)
Then the video will appear eg.
Watch it on YouTube youtu.be/kQd57Ua2tW0
