Posting a YouTube video

I have tried the search but no joy. How do you post a youTube video to a post. I want the video not the link to the video. I see them all of the time. Thanks

Click "go advanced". There's a quick YouTube button there. Otherwise the tags are [ YT ] [ /YT ] Don't put any spaces there.

All you need to do is copy/paste the URL (link) of the YouTube video. The software does the rest.

You don't need to use the YT tags anymore.

I'm sorry, but I can't seem to get this to work. I can copy & paste the url to the "reply" window and it works fine. However, I want the actual video to appear in my post, not just the link.

Well, I finally got it. I was coping the "embed code" from inside the video and not the simple url at the top of the page. Anyway, thanks everyone for your patience with me.
