This is how I do it.1. Upload to Youtube2. Go to your channel, pick the video you want to post here3. Click Share, it will give you a condensed link to use. Copy this. Head over to AHQ and open up a regular compose message.4. Click "Insert Video" and then "From the Web". I use from the web because "From Computer" makes things small and sometimes causes errors.5. Paste the link you saved. Remove the s from "Https". I don't know why, it just works. Click preview so a new drop down menu appears.6. Here you'll see a preview of the video you posted. Medium is best for pictures but for videos you always want to select "Large". Click Insert Video.

Find the video on YouTube and right click on it. Click on 'Copy embed code'. Then, when creating the post, click on the HTML tab and paste it there.

@EA_Aljo gives me this error message when I do that: "Correct the highlighted errors and try again. Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."

Doesn't allow me to submit either, only gives me the option to preview it.

Can you take a screenshot of the page with the error? Also, if you just copy the YouTube link into the message, it should automatically display the video.

Hey guys !
I really would have liked to embed my YT videos in my posts, but as per @TTZ_Dipsy explanation, I don’t even have a (Insert Video) button…
Was it removed ? I’m on IPAD, is it only available on PC ?
Thanks in advance for your answers on this 😀

Hey @PernellKarl027

I had a friend try with their 8th gen and it worked normally but another with a 6th gen ipad said there no options.

It looks like you'll need to switch to PC or mobile to fully imbed your videos. You should still be able to just copy/paste the YT URL though; it will show up as a hyperlink but at least others can still view the content.

Edit: I forgot: Are you using quickreply or the regular reply button? Seems like quickreply will offer no options

Hey @TTZ_Dipsy … Thanks for your reply on this.
Weird cause I’ve got an IPAD PRO and just tried on my phone a Samsung and it doesn’t show up also 🤔 I never use Quick Reply…
