Am I missing something?

[Mr. Entertainment]

So, I've been trying to get YouTube videos posted on here, right? Well, I've done what I've needed, copy and paste the link between [YouTube][YouTube], remove everything from https://youtube.com until the = symbol. I go into preview mode and still the video I'm trying to post won't play. What am I missing?

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Have you removed the = symbol as well or only everything up until then?

It didn't work for me for a long time before I realised that = had to go as well.

I've tried that as well and I'm still getting a playback error screen when I go into preview.

It started giving me that error as well some months ago. I started having to copy that portion of the link at the top of my browser page, not the "share" option.

I dunno if it's something YouTube changed or what.

Same video here. First gives me "L75xwoWZx2PQbXtw" after the equals sign in the share link. Doesn't work.

This one gives me "1Iv-_JHDa-w" in the browser page link. Does work.

Alright, I'll give that a go, thanks.

That's what I always do and it has always worked. The link at the top minus the first parts of the URL.
