AI Thread Summary
To embed a YouTube video player on a webpage, users can utilize the forum's advanced posting options. By clicking "go advanced" and selecting the TV icon, they can paste the video ID without the "v=" part of the URL. Alternatively, users can manually type "[YOUTUBE]" followed by the video ID and "[/YOUTUBE]" to achieve the same result. This method allows the video player to display directly in the post instead of just a text link. Following these steps ensures that the video is easily viewable before clicking.

when I copy and paste a Youtube link in the body of my post, I just see the text format of the link...BUT I see other PFers have posted the whole Youtube player (so you can see what the video is about before clicking on it)...How can I do that? Thanks.

Click go advanced, then the little picture of the TV and then just paste in the serial number part of the youtube link

or just type "["YOUTUBE"]" "["/YOUTUBE"]" -without the quotes
 
remember to remove the v= part of the youtube vid ID.
