First, go to the video on youtube and start it. Right click in the "video" part of the screen. A drop down will appear, select "get video URL". It will pop up in a box in the screen. Right click on it and "copy" it.
Next go to the forum post your writing and hit the "full editor and preview" and when your at the post you want to post the video click the "youtube" button "[youtube]" will appear back to back. Between then right click and paste the video URL you copied. hxxs://youtu.be/9ZJ6oAdV9tU is one for example. You need to delete the hxxs://youtu.be/ part, all you want are the number/letter code, this normally appears after a "=" (it doesn't on this sample for some reason), you don't want the "=" in the code either, it should end up just being the "youtube" (in brackets), the alpha-numeric code, and "youtube" in the brackets again.
I can't post an example without it actually working and linking the video, if you do need a proper example of the code, find a post with a video in it and hit the "reply with quote" button, the code shows up as code in the unpublished quoted section.

The cronies and toadies call him Lord Coen.

To everyone else it's Darth Coen. If only he'd use the Force for the betterment of humanity instead of building superb tanks.
