If it's youtube it's easy because the DU forum software understands their link format

For other sources, it can get trickier for sure

(19,925 posts)3. The YT link addy does not show up on my cellphone...
got the vid and the stuff underneath the imagedry.
(I only have net access through my cell phone)
The one time I did this previously touching the video brought up a string "directions" like "loop"
"Embed" used to be one of them but I don't see that.

(19,925 posts)7. Cool. I only have Internet Access through my smartphone...
I'm going to recheck bc I was watching a vid on YT and
happen to touch the screen and the list that came up had the "embed" direction.
I wonder if it can be deleted by whomever posts the vid in this case by Vemo.

a separate tab, then clip board post back onto DU.
Yay me for trying that.
