Youtube Vids

[Willbacker]

Not sure how to put up a Youtube vid. Usually there's a spot for it. Only thing I could do was leave a link. Apreciate any help. Thanks.

Thanks Andrew but where do you go and what do you do?  The best I could do was leave the link. I couldn't leave the video. Sorry not real computer savvy.

Are you trying it from computer or mobile?

To be honest, most of us prefer the link as it does not degrade page load time as much as posting the video.

The computer. I copied the video URL and tried to use the link. but could only leave the link.

Duly noted. Tbh I'd rarely use it.

Speak for yourself, I prefer it in the thread.  It's quicker to navigate that way.  And it actually doesn't noticeably degrade the loading time at all.  I could explain that in more detail if you want.

That is interesting since usually all I have to do is put in the URL, I thought I remembered how to make it show but it has escaped my memory.

Well it was the first time I tried it. Maybe the 2nd time is the charm. Appreciate you taking the time and trying to help.

Some times it won't take and then it will-- gremlins I tell you Willbacker lol

Ravenatic20 to embed does not cause issues unless it is in auto-play mode. We all have a much better better understanding of how things work since one of the system architect's from Invision gave us a very nice explanation. TVM for your offer!

The page load issues are from the non-football related Gifs and Memes in Ravens Talk and the Blogs. For this same reason we do not allow the animated pics in the GameDay threads but posters are welcome to use them in Off Topic as long as they are related to the topic being discussed.
