Posting video links

I've been trying to post a video link in the 'What song are you listening too right now' thread so that it appears as a picture of the video rather that just displaying a text link.
I use the insert link from the message toolbar but regardless it still shows as a text link like this The Mavericks Recuerdos

I'd rather the image of the video would show so you just click play to view.

Obviously I'm missing something. What? A forum setting I need to change?

Anyone have an idea?

(I have no issues posting still images)

Regards

That's exactly what I'm trying to do, unsuccessfully.

What process did you use? Did you use the link icon from the message toolbar or what?

Really it should be a straight forward process. The browser I'm using to post has no browser extensions and settings in browser are default so basically wide open.

regards

btw- your response was really quick!

Go up to the address bar of your video, click it once, it'll turn blue, then copy it and paste it in your post.
