Train videos can you embed in post?

[CB&Q]

Paste the URL of the video into your post. Highlight it and click the 'Insert Video' button.

I tried the insert video again I copied all of url and still not doing it correctly.

 

as you can see all I get is the url shown in bold type.

 

I pasted url in main body of post and then highlighted it is this correct way? after it was highlighted in post I clicked on insert video button in the options pane where you have options to change fonts and so on.

 

am using windows IE 11 is there an issue with this browser?

yes how did you do that?

I have wasted 30 minutes trying to do that should be a simple thing.

as other train forums I use work fine embeding videos this one not so much frustrating.

can you post a step by step how to I tried bigal956 way and still unable to get the results  of video showing as it does in your post.

I have used both IE 11 and google chrome copied and pasted entire url into insert video and all i get is the web link to the you tube page!

thank you for any help on this

ACDX ROB... okay first time I copied the embed code from you tube site it didnt work.

so I clicked directly on my video in you tube and then clicked on the embed code and it worked.

so much for there share button on you tube site!! now I wonder if the URL embed share feature is only for linking from a forum to the video on the you tube site and cannot be used to embed player on this or other forum sites?

now I just have to remember the how to.

thank you for the help

From youtube click the share button under the video you want to insert. The url that pops up should look like this: http://youtu.be/lXA0aZJJH7o  Copy that and then open your reply post. Click the 'insert video button and paste the url in.
