How do I embed a youtube video in a group discussion?

You can embed a youtube video in a group discussion by pasting the link to the video on its own line. Press Enter before and after the link so nothing else is on that line. That's all!!!

For example, this will work:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaXLtPGrTGQ

This will not:

Here is another test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaXLtPGrTGQ

Please note:

  • You need to use the WATCH link (youtube.com/watch?v=...), not the EMBED link or a shortened youtu.be link.
  • Paste the link itself. If you use the link button in the editor to turn other words into a link, the video won't be embedded.
  • The video shows up on the discussion's own page. In the activity feed, the link is shown as a regular link.
