Trying to embed a youtube video in this site has been a challenge for many of us, myself included. Today, I found
THE definitive answer. It was right there in front of me for all these years and I never knew it.
When trying to type a message, when I hover the mouse over the "youtube" button in our screen, it says it all.

It just doesn't add it all to our message body when clicking. I have found no way to copy/paste the pop-up. As soon as the curser leaves the button, it disappears. If you click on the button, the only thing that loads into the message body is the
[youtube] [/youtube] part
So the user is left having to type all the rest "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxx" between the
] and the
[. xxxxxx is the unique serial number applied to the youtube video on their site. Copying the URL from the youtube site does not work, at least, not for me. If the message looks like the pop-up format, then it should work.
