Works for me:
Kajlrr5ybpU <<<Using the video Tag (will NOT work)
[MYOUTUBE]Kajlrr5ybpU[/MYOUTUBE] The above uses the YouTube Tag (WORKS)
What's BB code? I've always clicked on the movie strip and used it.

Works for me:

But you aren't using the YouTube BBCode Tag in the Advance Editor which the OP used.

[Snowhog]

From the URL you pasted between the Tags, use this part only: Kajlrr5ybpU

The YouTube BB Code only uses the video/clip identifier, not the entire URL.

Did that. Doesn't work

Because you used the Video Tag. I've edited your post #2. Take a look at it (Edit the post and go Advanced)

So why keep the Youtube tag, when the normal video button works with copied youtube urls automagically? ie pops a box to enter the url .

[Snowhog]

Choice? Redundancy? Meh.

[claydoh]

Yeah, many prob don't notice it until/unless they go full-on mega editor

Maybe I misinterpreted what you wrote:

Since I used [ video ] tags I replaced the url I used with Kajlrr5ybpU, which didn't work.

The YouTube specific tag button uses this format, the video tag needs the complete url. Sort of awkward since most people just copy/paste, and might not think to get rid of the chaff not needed with that tag.
