I haven't found a single thread on this issue. When I posted replies, I would see TUBE tags in brackets, but the content between them did not make any sense to me. I tried the "insert movie" option in the toolbar and entered the name of a video (as it shows on YouTube) I wanted to embed, but the preview option shows blank space.

How do I go about this?

Yeah, maybe the tubes shouldn't be capitalized?

Nope.  Worked with capitals.

Use this button from the Post Reply editor: Insert Movie.

It is very intuitive.

Thanks Alex.  I'd never paid attention to that icon before.

As I've said before, I tried that one, but it requested YouTube Filename. So I put in the name of the video as it says on YouTube, but it didn't work.

Don't worry, I got the problem taken care of.

EDIT: Yeah! It worked! Thanks!

You have to put in the URL. Works every time.
