I tried the other day to add a movie, taken from a link on youtube. Mark is your choice to not put the code, [youtube]? So you can see the video directly in the post.
Another "less secure" solution is to accept the HTML code:
Code: Select all

The site needs to be set up so that those codes can be used, and I believe it uses a large amount of bandwidth (cost).

I did not think about it ... but do you use so much bandwidth, even if it has the link outside the site?

Unfortunately you can't link Youtube files directly, all you can place is an off site link.
