Why can't I post a song from Youtube

That icon is hidden if your font is very large. Have to click on the 3 veritcal dots at the right to see the second row of icons in that case.

I don't understand, the Media icon is on the top row, clicking the vertical dots shows other ones. How large of a font are you talking about, I never experienced that? :)

Hover on the video title on the right of the video & click "Copy Link Address." Then go back to Senior Forums & click "Paste" where you want the video to appear.
 
I am still having the problem, but only here. I tried Facebook and it worked. I never had a problem here before. I have put in many many songs in here before and I am still doing it the copy and paste way that was suggested and still no luck.:confused:
 

@Sassycakes, I just used a different way to post this video that was suggested in this thread. Not using the icon I recommended, just copy and paste directly into the post. I'm using Firefox browser and a Windows 10 computer, have had no issues posting videos. Hope you find out what the problem is, good luck!

I never had a problem before putting in a song from youtube until today. I have tried over and over again. I was wondering if anyone could give me an answer.

Can you give us more details? Describe what you did step by step and where it's not working as expected.
 
If all else fails there's another method.Simply write down the url address found above the video.It will look like this :https:// www.youtube........then click on the link icon here on SF and type in the address and click on insert then post.
 
I've tried every suggestion and it still isn't working. Is there something in my apps that changed I can't understand what's happening only here? The picture of the song comes up but then the song doesn't play'
 
Sassycakes OP reminds me of a problem I have with the music threads. It has started to take forever to load and while it's doing that, everything freezes, in other words, stuck at site till loading is finally complete. This is pretty recent.

That happens to me from time-to-time, especially if I am using my iPad.

I'd definitely say it's my equipment (Windows7), except that it doesn't happen on other forums, only here. Why is that, do you think? Could Sassy's problem & mine be related?

It tend to happen on this site far, far more often than anyplace else. I have come to suspect that our server may be a bit "challenged" because it happens most often when this site seems to be busiest.

I am using Windows 10 on my main computer and Safari on the iPad.

I have windows 10 and only have the problem here. I can send something from youtube in my mail and I can put youtube in Facebook with no problem. It seems like this is the only place where they don't play.
 
It's simple. As pointed out above,

- go to YouTube and find whichever video you want to post at SF.
- Right click on the video
- in the drop-down menu, select Copy Video URL
- In the SF thread where you want to post the video, go down to the space that allows you to write your comments
- Right click and select paste.

I've just tried this, and the video not only appears, but will play.

I'm using Windows 10 and Firefox.

That is exactly what I always do. It worked before but it hasn't worked in the last few days. The picture of the song comes up.but then it doesn't play. I even looked back at older videos I put in from weeks ago. They played before but not now.
