Ok here is what is going on. Every time I try to embed a video on here it doesn't work. I click on insert web video button and copy and paste the location of my video when the windows screen pops up. Then I hit the submit button. Then I post. Then it just posts [BBvideo]http://youtu.be/qnI56LaL4O8[/BBvideo]. What am I doing wrong lol? Please help and thank you in advance for the help. I'm using firefox and google chrome.

You cannot link an https video here; only an http video. Most youtube https links also accept http here. :)

I use the code from the browser URL (as lylejk mentioned no s, http only) and use the size/aspect ratio from the embed tag.

Also, it has to be a youtube link and not a youtu.be link. Below's the youtube link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnI56LaL4O8

And below's the link stripped of the s in the http part:

The simplest thing to do is just remove the "S" from "https", making it "http" instead of "https".

Thank you for the help. Thank you for embedding the video for me. I'm working on the second part right now.
