click on the URL (the bit at the top that starts https://www.youtube.com). That should highlight it. Then press control c (that will copy it)

Then put your cursor in the panel above your post where it says Enter YouTube Link Here, and press control+v. That will paste the URL.

You might have to write something in the main answer panel to make it work, I'm not sure. Anyway, then press submit and it should appear onAB.

ah, okay, omit the "Media URL" bit at the start and "Description" from the end

It's something to do with the dot between tu and be. Buenchico explained it over in technology some time ago.

I right click on the URL and click on the drop down box Copy, and place your cursor on the "Enter your YouTube link here" right click and on the drop down box click on Paste, the URL should appear in the small box. When you "submit" it should print out with the URL printed in red, then you know it will work.

You can also delete this bit

&feature=youtu.be

off the end of the link before you post it, and that might make a difference. What I find odd is that I can highlight the text, right-click and select open in new tab and the video works fine.

You're definitely NOT stupid, Jordy.
