Okay, I need the step-by-step guide.
I start at the YouTube video I want to post.
Do I click "share"?
What do I do then?
Er...what do I do next?
Um...what do I do after that?
In the old days, I used to click on something on the top left of my screen which offered "paste" and "copy" options. These appear to have gone.
By the way, how's the weather with you?

Why don't you first try to copy the following in blue and post it into a post of your own.

Just highlight it, right click with the mouse, and choose copy. Then paste it into your post. Or just type it in manually.

Did you not READ my post? Highlight how? Copy how? When I could successfully post stuff from YouTube, I referred to a paste and copy gizmo at the top left of my screen which is no longer there.
I WANT TO POST A YOUTUBE VIDEO---TELL ME HOW TO DO IT STEP BY STEP!!!

STEP 1: Find the youtube video you want, locate the URL for it at the top of the browser, and click anywhere in the URL, and it will highlight (turn blue).



Are you with me so far?

Well, yes and no, but have I clicked "share" yet? What's the "top of the browser"? I tried to highlight the link you sent a couple of posts ago and nothing happened. My head hurts and I'm going to bed.

I do honestly think it would be easier of I jumped on my car and drove the 300 miles to Kettle Towers to show him how to cut and paste. But I know he'd just make me cups of coffee and insist we talk about football and cartoons instead. .
I apologise, in advance.

By the way, the percussion at the end of that instructional video reminded me of the intro to the great 'HOW' TV programme of my youth. Oh, how Fred, Jack, Jon and Bunty would enjoy this thread if any of them were alive today. Actually, two of them are - but which two? I'll tell you how to find out...next week........
I apologise, in advance.

You can drive 300 miles on your car? Damn show off! Great cartoonist AND a stunt driver? Too many talents in the one man.

Let's try this:

  • Go to your YouTube page
  • Underneath the video you will see something like +addto                Share                  ***More
  • Left click the word Share (using the left button on your mouse)
  • Below +Addto     Share     ***More, a new bit appears which looks like   Share     Embed     E-mail (note that share is now the first word on this line)
  • Below the line is a box with a HTTP address, left click the new Share and the HTTP address will be highlighted in blue
  • Right click anywhere along the HTTP address and select the word copy from the menu that will appear
  • Go back to Beau Peep where you have already opened a new post
  • Right click at the end of your post [In the big white box where you type] and select paste from the menu that will appear

You will then see the video within your post, courtesy of the talented Mince.
