Embedding youtube video (unlinking) and still not working

I’m trying to embed a youtube video into a post, when I preview the post it’s only showing the link, not the video itself. I’ve tried unlinking it and it doesn’t work. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!!

Hi. Have you tried using the [youtube…] shortcode instead?

Hey, my bad….seriously! I didn’t get an e-mail response and out of sight, out of mind until I tried to do it again today.
That was exactly what I’ve been doing.
This link will take you to my most recent post and the link I added, but wouldn’t show up as video…….

I think they’re intended to be your example code. Paste each into the Visual version of the editor (make sure the word “Visual” has a blue background when you’re editing the Post, at the top-right corner of the box you type into).
Sorry if I seem to be using laymen’s terms: just making sure you get it!

I’ve done this. It shows up as the link itself. It doesn’t transpose, or embed to the video. I don’t want the link to be shown as a link in my post, I want it to look like the video. I’m using laymen’s terms because I’m a layman :)

I’ve been having YouTube embed issues too. It’s odd because I embedded a YouTube video just a few weeks ago with no problem, using the Insert Video button. So today I chose the “Insert a Video” button, selected “from a url”, pasted in the youtube shortcode given by the “share” button, and then clicked Insert into Post. Nothing happened. No text, no nothing, just a blinking cursor right where I left it.
I tried the url for that video, and it displayed the text of the url in my post. I looked up an html code for embedding a youtube video, stuck my link into the code, and that just gave me a hyperlink. I was in the HTML mode when I did it.
Why would I be able to do it so easily just a few weeks ago with the WordPress tools, and now nothing is working?
