It's very likely this came up a long time ago and I just forgot, but I didn't realize we couldn't embed YouTube videos on here until just now. Anyways, now you can.

How to do it

1. Find your video on youtube. Make note of the full link
ht tp://w ww.youtube.com/watch?v=36Xt-XeWnHM&playnext_from=TL&videos=leQHY5i6Ki8
The ID tag for the video follows /watch?v=. What comes after the v= is what you want

2. Just like there are [ ] tags for bold, color, etc. there is now one for "youtube". You need to use the video ID tag (in red above) from the full link, and simply put it in tags.

3. Example would be
[ youtube ] leQHY5i6Ki8 [ /youtube ]
***without the spaces

Which turns out like this:


I encourage you all to use embedding when possible because it makes it easier to not have to open new windows, but NSFW tags will be even more important and thus more heavily enforced on embedded videos also.
