You mean this thing? Put the link inbetween the tags I think.

You need to use the "embed" link provided by You Tube not the "URL".

The embed is html, most forums don't allow it.

Well lemme test, if you can see the video below, you just use the url and the button I showed.

Yep, you do the same as you would with a picture, but use the youtube button instead.
