I know you guys have answered this question ten billion times.
Recently I have tried my best to read other peoples posts but they were not specific enough for me to get YouTube videos to show up.

Like should I put the link under Ctrl+L?

which link is better to use from YouTube copy link or embed video?

Does the { } actually work?

If someone could explain to me how they put videos up to be shown on their profiles not as a link but an actual video that would be great.
Thank you guys for reading. ^^

(Everyone, thank you for all the advice, I really appreciate y'all taking the time to help me.)

Whenever you post a link, does the video come up? A link? Or error message?

Use {youtube}insert video url here{/youtube}

Just replace the {} with [] and the video should come up.



Ctrl+L will always just give you the link to the video, the video itself won't show up unless you use the code above.

It comes up as a link.

(youtube height=60 width=360) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUQiUFZ5RDw(/youtube)

With the () as []



Height and width are variable, depending on what size you are going for

Hope this helps! The code looks like this:

The other brackets people use are replacement ones to make the code show up, but that's what the code /code tags are for.
