How do you embed YouTube?

[Ogri]

Can anyone tell me in simple terms how to embed YouTube video so that the video plays on the page rather than just showing a link to the YouTube site?

I'm sure it's simple - just not as simple as me :nenau

Where it says SHARE there's an Embed "mouse over" Click that and then copy the highlighted gobldegook number that shows up in the box underneath.
Paste that in your post :thumbs

Thanks for that - still didn't work for me at first using Chrome but switched to Firefox and it works perfectly. I'm using a Mac by the way just to confuse things.

Oh and my first attempts were on an Android tablet and that wouldn't work in either Chrome OR Firefox.

All sorted now but just have to remember to use FF on my Mac and no other combination!

Cheers,

Ian

I use chrome and android and no probs. So I'm blaming the Mac :lol

I must admit I love my Mac but there are times when I despair when trying to do what should be some very straight forward stuff :doh

In Android using Chrome I paste the code in but the preview is just blank.

I'm using Chrome 32.0.1700.99 on Android 4.1.2
