Video embedding problem

I can't seem to get this video clip embedded.  What am I doing wrong? 

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Krs7PqhcZX8?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The URL works as a redirect, but embedding doesn't show the "coming attractions" picture with the little play arrow.

Hi Terry,

HTML is usually disallowed in posts to prevent hacking and abuse.

The preview window is usually automatically generated by the forum if you use the correct URL when linking the video.

See these URLs below:

This one will auto-generate a preview (URL uses "www. youtube.com/watch?v=" format):



This one also does (URL uses "youtube.com/watch?v=" format):

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Krs7PqhcZX8

This one won't (URL uses mobile view of YouTube):

So when I right-click on the video "coming attractions" with the little arrow, and the attached screen comes up, which option to I click on to paste to my post?

I'm sure I've done it right before, but somehow it fell in the cracks.

If you're posting from YouTube, you don't need to right click any options.

Just copy and paste a link to the URL and it will embed for you automatically.

Yup, get the URL from the browser, not from the youtube video.

Nope:  Copied and pasted right off the browser address window.  Do I have to truncate the dot-html if it appears?

Ah, the auto-generation will only work if your URL starts with www.youtube.com or youtube.com.

As for the video you're trying to embed, it links to a 3rd party website (http://www.azvideos.com), so you'll need to do some extra steps.

1. go to that page you're viewing.
2. click on the "Youtube" link at the bottom right of the video.  It will say "Watch on Youtube" when you hover the mouse over it.
3. take the url from the youtube page and add it to your post.

Full URL is below:

Ah, OK, I'm going to print this out and add it to my Internet Manual Of Arms. 

Thanks!
