How do you...

[Jez]

I've seen threads asking about avatars etc but I can't find anything which explains how to load a video clip to play straight away.
So many of you do that, it can't be too difficult but it's beaten my technical knowledge.
It's easy enough to post a link, but how do you post the actual clip so it automatically plays or displays the first frame?

Cheers,

Above the text pane, there are a bunch of buttons to change text to bold / italic, add links etc... And the last button is called YouTube, use that and paste your link in that.

Thanks D, I tried that but all I got when I clicked preview was the link not the clip. I must be doing something wrong.
