I tried that earlier, in CB but it didn't work !

It seems to be less reliable than before, hc. Earlier this week I posted a handful - some worked, others not.
There was a suggestion that removing the dot that sometimes turns the 'youtube' part of the URL to 'youtu.be' would work - again, sporadic - and the same was true of ensuring the URL is placed on a separate line.
The odd thing was that sometimes just the URL appeared, sometimes a black box of the same size as the usual preview (and clicking it didn't work).
Hmmmm

Let's see if it's working:

Like that, hc - 'an error occurred'.
Testing (again.)

Links with youtu.be never have embedded the videos here but they've still appeared as a clickable link, rather than as an empty box. Perhaps that's what's changed?

Youtube.com links appear to be embedding as normal.

So just how we do it, so it works every time ?
well, I thought I was posting one with some video; my mistake. But the audio seems okay.
I just cut and pasted the URL, mikey.

I give up !

Ed...help us out please !
They aren't, Chris. It's still hit and miss :)
Mikey - as far as we can tell, if you make sure the URL is on its own line it should work. But if the URL has 'youtu.be' rather than 'youtube' it will probably appear just as a clickable link, unless you put it on a new line, in which case I think you end up with the useless black box.
I think. And I've made it sound ridiculously complicated.
Some videos are unable to be shared.
