Youtube video help

[StrawberryDream]

I wanted to know how to post a video on this site. Every time I try to add the embeded link it does not show up as a video, just the link.

It either shows up like this:

<iframe width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uelHwf8o7_U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

or

http://youtu.be/uelHwf8o7_U

or

<object width="560" height="345"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uelHwf8o7_U?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uelHwf8o7_U?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="345" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Just post the raw link to the video.

No need for any fancy embedding code.

Thanks so much.

As a corollary, what's the easiest way to "dis-embed" a youtube hyperlink?  Seems BBcode wants to embed videos by default.

Example:link

Want to just make that into a link (I used bit.ly in this case).

The easiest is to use the [*noembed] tag. (without asterisks).

Gotcha. Thanks, Oreo.
