How to put a YouTube Video on Forum?

How do you put a youtube video on the forum? I've made a video and uploaded it to youtube and put it on the forum, however the image on my comment didn't look good. There are some forum messages that contain video images that look great, such as a Nightblade video by @Gaëloup or a Mercenary Bug video by @AshleyLee. Note that @AshleyLee does great making use of videos to record Bugs.

    For Youtube you just need to copy and paste the full URL of the video and the forum will take care of the rest, they don't actually use the BBCode for doing it.

    Like so:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEWiwn6x28I

    Thank you! I was trying to use the BBCode and getting frustrated with it not looking good. When you Preview though it didn't look like yours does. What are you seeing when you use Preview?

    You're welcome! When using the BBCode and it's not working right, the preview shows a a grey field with a darker rectangle which has a couple circles in it and the black "Play" button (black square with a white triangle pointing right) atop it. For the above post that worked, I used the full URL
    • https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEWiwn6x28I
    (in the URL here I put a space in to see it all) listed alone and that's all. For the preview it shows what I think we all see on my above post, a lower resolution ESO logo with a "Play" button atop it.

    Might just make it "http://", too, instead of the secure connection "https://", too, though I don't think it matters.
