Default Youtube Embed Broken?

<p>Youtube embed seems to be broken for me. When I post the youtube link all I get is a hyperlink</p><p>Example:</p><p>https://youtu.be/iz0UIBBb1bw</p>

Been there.

You need to get the youtube link that is "https:\\youtube.com\etc." The site doesn't recognize youtu.be as a youtube link.

It is. This broke with the recent changes to the editor.

For now, you need to use the "YouTube" button near the upper-right of the editor. This will produce the [YT] tag, into which you paste only the last part of the YouTube address, after the "v=" part.

So, for this address:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1c0a4fo1zo

You'd enter only the c1c0a4fo1z portion, as follows:

[YT]c1c0a4fo1z[/YT]

Producing this result:

Yeah, but you posted the image source as http://]http//i.imgur.com/S07RPaO.png, so the link is broken and it posts it longhand.

For that to work you have to cut the end of the url, cVWQrLGuBuE, nothing else between the YT brackets

strange...

How do you get URLs? I like to right click and copy image source/location, pretty sure all the major browsers do that now, so it doesn't copy over as a hyperlink

I have poor internet and can't get 1080 or see text there

your typing box looks different than mine, do you have the WYSIWYG editor on? Is there a view source or html markup tab?

I'm having trouble with the pictures, too. Apparently, .jpg is not an appropriate file type. Le sigh.
