SF - if you wish to actually embed a YouTube video so that the actual video shows up in your post...
-Visit the video you wish to select on YouTube.com
-Scroll directly below the video and click the "share" button
-Some new options will appear below the share button: "share", "embed" and "email"
-Select "embed"
-When you select "embed" some new code will appear in a field below the word "embed"
-Copy and paste that entire field of code directly from the YouTube website into your post on BroadwayWorld.
-When you do, the video will appear in your post after it's been posted
-Note, some videos are too wide and you may wish to adjust their dimensions. You can do this by clicking "show more" directly below the code field. When you do, a preview image of the video will show up and you will have the option to select a different video size or enter a custom video size. Once you do that, the code in the field above will automatically adjust to the dimensions you've specified. Copy and paste the code and you're done.
-Note: some publishers do not make their videos embeddable, meaning you will only be able to post hyperlinks to the YouTube page.
-Also: on BroadwayWorld, you may wish to select the "preview" button at the bottom of your post BEFORE you select "Post Message" so that you can verify that the code worked.
