I recently upgraded to Windows 11. I am not sure if this is related.
I am not able to complete a robot project posting because the youtube video of my project I am trying to upload will not post.
I use the youtube icon in the posting window and insert the URL. However, it does not posting it anywhere in the BBCODE space.
Because of this, my project will not post and there is no way to save the work at that point (:().
Anyone else have this problem?
DJ, did you get the update posted related to this? I tried again a few days ago and similar errors.
I'm curious about this as well. And, I noticed that the YouTube button doesn't seem to like YouTube Shorts videos.
Justin, I just tried the YouTube link tool and it seems to work for me. Sorry about the obnoxious video clip.
Here's a Short. Maybe I'm not using the same type of Youtube video you are talking about?
Interesting!! There does seem to be a slight difference in the video URL format. By default my short has /short/ in the URL link, but yours do not. If I go to your YouTube channel and click on Shorts I can see your video and it pops up as youtube.com/shorts/4BidFo5VGic And that type of URL with short in the url won't work here. If I switch the /shorts/ to www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BidFo5VGic it will play and let me link it correctly in here in the message post. I appreciate you helping me figure out it Dave! Thank you!
All this talk of "shorts" has me looking forward to spring and summer now, lol
That is my problem too! Its related to the "Shorts" in the URL. I will try again without that.
Oh that explains the issues you’re having. I see now - we were struggling to figure out why it wasn’t working for you. The YouTube shorts changes the url formatting entirely. I don’t know if shorts can be embedded. I’ll have to take a look and see how that works.
DJ have you determined if YouTube shorts can be used and what the format is to make it work if it can be?
