How does one embed a YouTube video into a Coffeehouse forum post? Not just a link, but the actual YouTube window with the arrow that begins playback, such as the comedy sketch with the 10-pound note recently posted?

Copy the 'share' link, not the url. Type [tube][/tube], then paste the link in between. Finally delete the 's' from 'https'

[tube][/tube] should be just like that, on the same line, no gap.

That did it. Thanks jamesg1213.

The winning syntax is as follows. I add the 'x' to 'tube' below so it does not try to display an actual video or some other crazy thing:

[tubex]share_url_copied_from_yt_without_s[/tubex]

Notice no returns or whitespace.

Great choice for an example video! I love those Blu-rays, even the uprez'd early ones. Mesmerizing!
