Afternoon John, all I've done in the past is go for the 'share' option and then on my phone it gives me the option to copy the link. Then just paste the link on your thread. If I can do it on my phone then if you try it on a laptop it will be even easier as I think you'll have less options to choose from

I think you just copy and paste it John. When you copy it via the icon or similar it copies it to what's called a note book I think then you can then just paste it on here.
Copy can also be done by pressing the control key which I think is marked cntl? and then the c key. To paste it you can press control and v
If you right click if using a laptop or computer you should get copy and paste as options.
The copy options don't normally save it to your document etc but to a temporary document. It might save it to what's called a clipboard instead of note book.

Don't see why not John. I'm not familiar with ipads, iPhones or mac computers so not sure on the procedures. If it's a PC or android phone it's easy for me.
The 'copy' link that I'm currently seeing at the top right of this page looks like this < with a ° on the 3 ends of the straight lines if that makes sense?
When I open that copy icon it gives me the option I mentioned before. It is also referred to as the 'share' icon I think.

I think you have to copy it from the YouTube site John so you have the correct link. It's either copy or share then paste it on here.
It's only difficult if you don't know how to do it but when you do it's simply. I struggle to put photos and links on here on my phone until recently then had a bit of a trial and error session and got it sussed fairly quickly.

To paste it you might just need to put your finger on the ipad screen where you want to put the link and wait for it to give you the option to paste? Should only need to touch the screen for 1 to 2 seconds?

BTW you can only paste it where you can type OK so go for top left of the text box if that makes sense? Once you've got the link in the text box then you can move it about a bit.

Go into YouTube on your browser, not in the YouTube app. Copy the link to your video from the top bar.
Paste the whole link here, or if you want it to be embedded out it between the YouTube header brackets, but you need use the series of letters and digits of that link not the other junk either side.
The YouTube tags for embedding are {YTB} your letters and numbers go here {/YTB}. - except those curly brackets need to be square brackets.2016 new 6000 gallon pond
