This is a simple procedure to embed YouTube Videos on SMF powered forums. This procedure is also applicable to posting YouTube videos on TheInfoStride.com.

How to Get YouTube Embed Link:

1.   Visit the video page
2.   Click on "Share" below the video player
3.   Click on "Embed"
4.   Copy the iframe code to a Notepad or Word, then extract the source embed link.
5.   Source embed link look like this (http://www.youtube.com/embed/ns_4ialpodI)
6.   Replace "embed" with "v".
7.   The new link look like this (http://www.youtube.com/v/ns_4ialpodI)
8.   Then, enclose the link with flash tag [flash]http://embedlink[flash]
9.   The new code looks like this *** [flash =600,340]http://www.youtube.com/v/ns_4ialpodI[/flash] ***

Alternatively for step 9, on the post page, there is a flash symbol (if enabled), click on it, paste the edited embed link in between, then adjust the dimension (width and height). If you need further guidance, please post it below.
