[Question] Inserting a Video Clip Into a Post


Recommended Posts

I've tried, unsuccessfully, to try to insert a video clip in a post so it can be played from within the post.  I would appreciate it if someone could direct me to where the how-to is located or post specific, detailed instructions [like for a five year old :-)].  Thanks in advance.

Just pasting in the link should auto-embed it. YouTube, etc. - all the majors should be supported. Not sure about TikTok...

How are you doing it now?

When I copy the link (cntl/c) and paste in the reply area (cntl/v), it displays the link name, not the video image.

Just copy the address of the page you are on. When you use the link YouTube pushes you to use under "share" it will take  give a link to YouTube which they prefer.

When you paste the link, wait a beat for the embed code to take what you pasted and insert the video embed. If you don't wait (like a half second to a second and a half) the embed cancels and just the text will stick.

Yes. I erroneous used the shortened address.  When I cut and pasted the link from the address bar, it worked beautifully.  Thanks to everyone for the assistance.
