Posting video clips in the chat rooms

0 likes 12 Nov 2016

I havent yet sussed how to post a youtube vid in the chat room. I copy the url and paste it into the text box click send but all that shows is the link and not the clip itself. I use an ipad for getting the links and chatting. Does this make a difference?

To post a video from YT in a chat room you need to use the URL presented by the 'Share' (under 'Subscribe') button then it works.

YES...the m. is the problem.

Same video, different links depending on where you have the video. All of mine are on my Lush page, so I can just browse through my list and play. Click the video in your list, when it shows, ready to play, then right click it and copy the url first one listed in the popdown, then paste it the same as you would if you had copied link from top of youtube page...smiles
