Go here

Paste YT vid link & click the submit button.
Copy paste the result in your post & post it.

I've only done it on a desktop, not sure how to get the YT link on mobile.

Click the Share button under the video and choose the Copy Link option.
Then put that in the tubinator.

Much easier is to click "Share" on a YouTube video which gets you this:

Then select "Embed" which will give you something like this:

Copy it and insert it between the "Flash Video" brackets that you get when clicking the "film strip" on the forum's posting window.

And bingo, you'll get a YouTube video posted here (and NOT just the link

Ah, I assumed the iPad and iPhone had the same options. I didn’t know embed shows on iPad. Must be a screen with thing.
