    Why is it that video embedding works for some people but not for others :hmmm:

    I use firefox and I post the appropriate link, but the video itself does not embed.

    You have to make sure the video you upload to youtube is set for embedding. Its in the settings below the video. Click on EDIT for your video. The embedding enable is in the left column under Broadcasting and sharing options.

    yup i am aware of that. But it still wont let me embed any videos. And i try both urls. The one in the address bar. And the one in the sharing options but still no luck. Is there a BB code that i can use to embed it? Since html is not allowed.

    If the video is not embeddable, it wont work. Post/PM me a link to the video and I will try it.

    I wonder whats wrong? does it have something to do with youtube?

    because i can embed videos from photobucket.

    like this:

    [ame="http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g306/mav75/?action=view&current=MavGood.flv"]40SFlows video by mav75 - Photobucket[/ame]

    I think its because they don't have the actual video name in the URL anymore, before they did and it would have the file type at the end.

    Like .wmv, or .flv.

    Photobucket still does that. So im guessing the Forum recognizes that its a video and it embeds it.
