    Using the YouTube BB Code

    For a while now, comments as to the KFN YouTube BB Code not working have been made. I have tested it just a minute ago, and it does work properly IF you include the correct piece of a YouTube video URL between the code tags.

    These are URLs to a YouTube video:

    https://youtu.be/I6wRZCV7naE
    https://www.youtube.com/embed/I6wRZCV7naE

    Using the KFN Advanced Editor YouTube BB Code Tag to include this video in a post, you would include ONLY this part of the URL between the Tags:

    I6wRZCV7naE

    So, the correct YouTube BB Code construct would look like:

    [ MYOUTUBE ]I6wRZCV7naE[ /MYOUTUBE ]

    (In the above example, I've included spaces in the Tags so you can see it.)

    Including anything else between the Tags will result in an error when someone clicks on the Play button of the displayed YouTube window.

    I just click on the video image icon and put the URL inside those tags. Seems to work.

      The Video Tag works differently than the YouTube Tag.
