Default you tube

I've tried to figure out how to post an actual "you tube" video on a post instead of the link, but can't. Can someone tell me how or point me to the instructions? Looked through TOTV but can't find them. Thanks!

As you are watching the video on youtube, go up to the address line on your browser, you know... the http://www line. Right click on that address, click on copy. Then when you get to TOTV and open your message box, paste.

I tried your suggestions and thanks. I know how to copy and paste, and that will bring up the http://www line, and then you would click on that link and it brings you to the video. What I want to do is have the actual video on my post without having to click on a link to get to it.

Lary, when you paste the link into the TOTV message box, in a few minutes,SOMETIMES the actual video shows up. Other times, only a link will show. As to why? I don't know the answer.

When I post a video, I always "Go Advanced" and then "Preview Post" in order to double check the video by clicking on it. That way I make sure it works before I actually make a post.
