Never mind what I wrote at first... there is now a simple click-a-button YouTube button ;)




As you can see it is possible to embed a YouTube video in your posts. This isn't a simple click-a-button thing so I will now explain how to do it.

1: Pick the YouTube movie of your choice.
2: Click the "Share" button below the movie and select the option "enclose" which looks a bit like this: <>
3: A pop-up will appear. You see a preview of the video on the left and on the right you a field with code.
4: Click op the "Copy" button which copies the code to memory.
5: In your post write the tags "html and /html (between brackets)" (see example below)
6: Between the tags copy the code you got from YouTube. (see example below)
7: Click preview to see if it works and post :-)


Example:
[html]<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9IoU-T6JHHo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/html]
Note that the name of the buttons in YouTube might have different names when your YouTube settings use another language than english.
