ok thanks

But if its outdated, isn't it better to remove the posts as they only cause confusion.

Have to make sure it is not HTTPS prefixed too (just remove the "s") - and no extra query path bits (like size=xxx) either - just look like it does in Tywais' post.

OK, let me try it. Youtube URL only pasted in with x in front to ruin it.

After that, just the url pasted in. No messing with anything else.

What I do is copy and paste the url that appears when you click on the "share" tab just below the video.

In my post yes, but that is maybe because I use an iPad to post and it reverts to the mobile version. But I see the video you posted (Gotye)

Just try it and test it, that is what this thread is all about

This is an old outdated topic, there is a more up to date version pinned here - http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/822801-how-to-embed-a-youtube-video-updated/

It also explains not to use the new YouTube link shortner such as youtu.be.... and why.

Test

Got it.

Thanks MJCM, OccamsRazors and Tywais.
