I've had a search and can't find my answer so I'm going to ask the question instead.
As the title, how do I link a single youtube video?
At present, I copy the toolbar link of the video and paste into the post. Seems to me this links direct back to my youtube account so everybody can view all my public videos (not a problem) but some peps seem to be able to link a single video with the initial frame and a start arrow to play it. That's what I would like to be able to do - just reckon it's neater in the post.
When doing still pictures from photobucket, I can see the list of links and usually copy to the bottom link (html or thereabouts). Should I be able to do the same in youtube to place the single video that I'm trying to link.

Look at the url of the youtube video you want to add and select the last "word", in this case KSEqh-KoY9w, and copy it to the Windows clipboard

Click on the youtube button in the FOG message editor and paste the "word" in between the tags
