    Imbed it into your post via the media taglines

    I.E.

    [video] copy paste youtube URL here [/vide0]

    The last O in video substituted with a zero for viewing purposes.

    Or just click the media button to the right of the picture frame or behind the chat tag.

    Spoken like a grizzled veteran of the forum, Dah. Well done for your third post! :)

    Or click the Insert video button in the editor and paste your url there like so:

    OOPs I see Dah already said that, oh well it's a chance to post the video above just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet :smile:

    The editor is the box with tools above that pops up when you click the Reply to Thread button, the box that you just replied in

    When you open the editor can you see the little icon above that looks like a filmstrip? (third icon from right in the simple editor or middle row fifth from right in the advanced editor, hover mouse over it and it says "Insert Video") that is what you click on

    You don't need an editor button to do this - there is a simple manual way to perform this deed.
    On the YouTube page, copy the url of the video you want to embed.
    Now paste that url code on your parallax page using the video code tags. You paste your YouTube code between the two video tags so it looks like the following EXCEPT in this case I have placed spaces inside the video tags between the [ and the ]. If you remove all those spaces between the [ and the ] for both video tags, then the browser will actually execute those tags and embed the video as you wish. By leaving those spaces inside the video tags, the browser allows a human to read them instead of executing them as code:
