I have seen a few posts with video embedded.  Can anyone tell me how to do it?  Thanks

You can get the syntax by looking at what code is used when replying to a post where the video is (Quote button). I can get it if you want, for now I'm a bit short in time.

If its YouTube just post link from browser address bar.

Don't use the embedded YouTube code.

Ok, I found an easy way.  I went to my YouTube video, clicked on the "Share" button below the video.  This provided a blue highlighted address which I then copied into the forum post.  The address looks odd in that YouTube is spelled youtu.be (see attachment)

For some reason, copying the url from the browser address bar would not work for me.  I am using a Mac, not sure if it matters.

Fyi, clicking the embed button did not yield anything useful.
