Why Doesn't The Youtube 'Share' Link Work Any More?

[Whitespirit66]

Until recently, if you put

, the video would appear in the post rather than just a link.

Am I doing something wrong? What's changed, except that the letters/digits on the share code are bigger?

From what I can tell the Youtube links are still working ok.

If you send me a link to one of the videos that doesn't work for you, I'll look into it.

I seem to have it working now.

For some reason it doesn't work by copying the 'share' link under the video on Youtube. However, if I now copy the link at the top of the page it works.

Thanks anyway

I believe its because it uses the domain youtu.be instead of youtube.com.

I will look at adding youtu.be for the future.
