I'm a Luddite but I'm trying.

Does anyone know how to link a tube video to a post so that it appears as a screen ready to press play?

I was wondering that myself....someone (Mikey) will hopefully learn us how!!!!

On the page where you are viewing the youtube video, check to see if there is an embed code. If so, just copy and paste that here.

There are 3 or 4 codes, which one do I use?

SlvrMag, copy the "embed" code on the YouTube page. Then just copy it in the reply window here at SR.

Jig, you may need to update your flash. The link for the free browser application is here:

you can just copy the URL of the youtube vid you want and paste it into your post too - it'll make a link - not as pretty as the little video screen, but just as effective

This a link to Lennon's Working Class Hero - as an example
