We have all seen "embedded" videos (and pictures) in this forum and in others. Embedding merely means that you view the video (or photo) within the Comment, as opposed to clicking on a link and viewing it on the website where it resides. In this forum, when you Paste the link (url) to a standard You Tube video, the forum automatically embeds it. The forum does not recognize the url for You Tube Shorts, so does not automatically embed them...but you can embed them using the forum tools. In order to embed a You Tube Shorts in this forum, use the Media icon on the toolbar AND modify the Shorts url, as follows. 1-Click on the Media icon in the toolbar above the Comment Box 2-Paste the You Tube Shorts url in the Media field, but don't Embed it yet 3-Replace the word "shorts" with the letter v 4-Click the Embed button
Thank you for this, @John Brunner …….. you are AWESOME ! ! I didn’t use the little icon, I just pasted it like I usually do. And now, I can find this, when I forget how to do it. PS, I just did it on my climate change post and it worked ! Awesome !
You're welcome, Yvonne. I don't know how forums evaluate urls. Apparently, beginning with Youtube.com is not what they look for.
