(7,309 posts)2. Thank you. How did you do that?
Normally, they just embed, right?
Koko Ware
(107 posts)3. yes, but lately there's been an hiccup
so I have to cut'n'paste the embedding part and post it.
Fantastic Anarchist
(7,309 posts)4. Well, I certainly appreciate your help.
I'd ask if you could provide the code, but you've done enough. Much appreciated.

(107 posts)5. the code is something like this:
//www.youtube.com/embed/Z3S1zcbWkoM
When you pick the Share then Embed - if it allows for embedding, all you need is the link that looks like above.
If it doesn't allow for embedding, then SOL.

(36,974 posts)9. None of the YouTube videos that I've posted on DU have the word 'embed' in the URL
The problem with the first URL in the OP (before the edit) was that that URL was for the 'page' not the 'video'
That first URL had the words 'feature=player_detailpage) - that was the 'page' URL not the URL for the video
Tx4obama
(36,974 posts)7. Click on the YouTube link in your OP, then...
... then on that page click where it says 'SHARE'
a URL will come up there in a box - that is the URL to copy and paste here at DU.
That one will embed automatically here.
Hope that helps

You just have to learn to deal. We rarely talk politics, so that preserves our friendship.
