  I have tried about 10 times to upload a youtube video without any success….nothing happens neither do I get any error messages. I have tried the short link, and everything else including reading the information and FAQs on Videos.

  Can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong or is that service unavailable?

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

  Maybe, I did not explain myself properly. I have found a Youtube video that I would like to share in my post. The problem is when I try to upload or insert it in my Post, it seems like the function to do that does not work.

  The URLs are:

  Thanks for your help

  To insert a YouTube video with that method (copying and pasting the URL only), you must use the URL that appears on the address bar only. It starts with youtube.com (as opposed to youtu.be). Details here:
