visog Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Why don't my YouTube links create a preview image? They are just an inline link. Please advise... Quote
0 Hellzero Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 If the link doesn't embed, simply edit your post and it will work. There must be script error in the command line for the embedding somewhere, but good luck to find it. Nice "Halloween" cover, @fleabag. 1 Quote

My posts are less impactful with out the visuals. No one clicks on a hyper-link. It's just a liability let's face it. Anyway, you doing OK? I'm fine. Bit of arthritis but can't complain. Haven't got Covid. Don't like rap music much. Quote
0 wateroftyne Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Can you post an example..? That would be a start, I suppose. Quote
0 ped Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Make sure you post the URL not the ‘share’ link which I don’t think embeds. Quote
0 MartinB Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 youtu.be (share) links seem to work ok: Quote
0 fleabag Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Just copy and post the the whole URL, as ped has stated. Its that simple. Then you get a choice of whether you want the URL left as a link or posting the video so it embeds. Quote
