  I have a user who posted a youtube link into a comment. The image of the video appears, but upon clicking it notes: “Embedding disabled by request”
  This makes me believe I have some option to turn this on somewhere…Can’t seem to find it.
  The link uses the [youtube=URL] method.
  I’ve searched and can’t seem to find anything regarding adding video to COMMENTS…
  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello: tree63fan

  The “Embedding disabled by request” means the content
  owner from YouTube disabled embeds.

  To turn a comment video into a link simply
  edit the comment then highlight the link
  then click the code option then click save

  Now the video will turned into a link for
  your readers to click and be directed to the
  actual video on YouTube.
