  You have changed the button for media. When I go in there för publish a You tube video, I go in under “Insert media from another website” and under “Audio, Video, or Other File”
  but there Im only have two fields “URL” and title” and when I have write the adress there, I DONT HAVE any button “post it” or “publish” or anything???? So I cant get the link on my writeside and have it embedded.
  Please help me….FAST!!!!

  That was actually a very old way for embedding external videos. You can now easily embed YouTube videos following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  Yes, links will break the embed. It needs to be a straight URL.
