How do I embed a Youtube video?

I tried searching the forums and the FAQs. I can't embed a video. Someone help me. It's gotta be easy.

ha. yeah - that tripped me up for a while too until I figured out it's just that combination of upper/lower case characters after the equal sign are what you're after. Copy/paste those, select, then hit the youtube tag button to wrap them..

Here is a link to a youtube web page:
(guy having fun in a nice ix coupe)(not me)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1fFp5TWqZ0&feature=feedrec_grec_index

^^ that's the web address ^^

Below the video on that page, there is a button labled "Share"
Click on the "Share" button.
It will provide you with the following code:

http://youtu.be/J1fFp5TWqZ0

^^ the last section of this code is what you are after. (J1fFp5TWqZ0)

Copy that section and paste it into your post.
Highlight that section - then click on the little YouTube icon/button at upper right of the text field. Doing so will "wrap" the highlighted text.

Click the "Preview Post" button below text field to verify/check out what you've attempted to generate.


Here's that same video using the steps outlined above:

You don't have to go down and click on the share button.

If you are lazy like me just copy the words from the URL that are in between watch?v= and &feature. Booya!
