help with video – function not working properly
-
Hi – the media link isn’t working. I see you combined the photo and video, but when I try to link a video from a URL there is no “OK” or “post link” button to make it happen. One can only close it out, but then the link is gone.

What’s the exact video link/url that you were trying to use? Please review this guide if you want to learn more about embedding video.

Hi – I know how to embedd video – I’ve been using the media icon. There used to be two icons, one for images and one for videos. Now it’s combined into one icon, with a radio button to choose whether or not I want to insert a photo or a video, and whether I want to upload or use a URL. When I chose video/URL, I get a place to add the link, and a place to put in a title, but nothing else. No “OK” button or “post” button, so when I try to leave it there by closing out (it’s all I can do), it disappears.

What you’re referring to is the old method. Now you can embed a video by just pasting the URL. See this for more info: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/
With that said, the URL you used is not the actual video page, but rather a user profile page with a video. Try this instead:

Thank you. Unfortunately I did what you suggested and it didn’t work:

Help?

Either you inserted it as a link, or your browser automatically made it into one. It needs to be straight URL (not a link) to work.
