Longer YouTube URL's

[TotallyOz]

I have a member that I am trying to make a little video for that will help him to understand how to copy and use YouTube urls into the Invision site. But, all of the videos that I paste here show up as the YouTube frame in which you can see it on the site.

Does anyone know of how I can find other videos from youtube with the longer code that shows as a url instead of the actual video?

usually when you link to YouTube from Facebook, it shows the longer URL that won't come up as a video here. You have to truncate them at the & symbol. I have found that when you link to a YouTube from another site that is when you get the longer URLs

Thanks. If anyone can give me a sample url here, I would appreciate it as I can't seem to find one and have looked at Facebook, Huffington Post ect.

Oz, if you would just let loose of one of those programmers long enough for him to come up for air, he could probably show you what you need to know.

Exactly. Thank you. Where did you get that from?

OZ I went to youtube selected a video grabbed the url from the address bar. Then here making the post instead of pasting it inside the post box I simply clicked on the "link" icon and posted it as a (http) url. Let me know if you need more details. Hope this helps.
