Embedding video

Post by North Shore »

How the heck do you embed a video from, say, Youtube? I just want the video screen to show up on the forum page, and then start to play when i click on it. (Not one of those irritating video loops that plays automatically when you open the page..)

I go to youtube, and there's a button at the bottom of each video that says embed, and when you hit that, a bunch of computerese shows up. Now, do i take that, and paste it between the markers that show up when I hit the Youtube button on the posting screen?

If not, then how, please?
