It looks like an arching arrow. Click that and copy it and then paste the link wherever you wish.

I would like to have the video shown already open so that all you do is press the play arrow and it plays.

That is what you did. How did you do it?

Are you saying it doesn't work for you, or?

I just went to the last YT video I played, clicked Share button under the vid (with right-facing arrow on it), clicked Copy button, and then Ctrl-V to paste into this message. Easy-peasy.

That’s the nifty thing about YouTube links as well as being very resource light on the website.

Have you completed a post with a link in it?

We could then look at the link and perhaps figure out what is going on.

Please post it here.
