To post a Youtube video, you first need the URL of the video from the internet.
----About URLs----
In case you don't know, the URL is the text at the top of your web browser (Chrome, Explorer, Firefox, Safari), for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYc4DT18EJg
That is the URL for the video I'm going to use in an example later on. It is like a street address for mail, if you use that address you will always get to that webpage. To get the URL of a video, go to the video on Youtube so that you can see the video paused or playing on your screen. Then, copy the URL at the top of your web browser. That is the URL for the video.
-----End of URLs----
Here are the options when posting a reply, sending a message or starting a topic:

The GREEN boxed icon inserts the video corresponding to the URL into the message. Click it and then paste the video URL inside it, like so:
(youtube)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYc4DT18EJg(/youtube)
The example URL here is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYc4DT18EJg
Since I didn't want it to think I was trying to insert a video for the example, I used ( and ) instead of [ and ]. If you hover your mouse over the different buttons, they will tell you what they do. Just play around with it and see. Since the Youtube video posting function doesn't work sometimes, I suggest you also post a clickable URL (the BLUE boxed icon) along with the video. I'm sorry it took so long to reply and I'm sorry this is really long. I just hope it helps.
