You tube clarification

In the previous edition when you used the YouTube helper it showed an actual screenshot of the video. Using JT's suggestion of just pasting the Url in the text box just shows an underlined link now. Is there a way to do it so as the you tube shows up as in the past?

I'm not sure I understand the concern. A link is displayed when previewed but the video will automatically embed and show up in the post when it's posted. Such as above.

Thanks JT I previewed the link and never actually posted it

It does show up when viewed. The above YT was just used as a test
Thank You

One difference I see now is the YT video is much smaller now than it used to be when you paste the link.

That's funny because I was thinking just the opposite. The one JT and I posted above seem larger than what they used to.

They used to be twice the size when you simply pasted the URL. Using the old YT shortcut button always resulted in smaller video.
