I've copied the URL between youtube and /youtube in square brackets as per the formatting guide.

The embedded video box appaers but fails when clicked on.



Here's the link to my original post at the bottom of page 14 of the Alvis Stalwart thread
https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Any ideas?

How did you copy the link from YouTube?

The link should look like this https://youtu.be/pW9Z0HrzdMo

The link you used is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW9Z0HrzdMo&ab...

I take it that it's this video...

That's the one, thanks very much.

When I clicked on "share" on YouTube it didn't offer me an "embed" option, just a "copy link" so that's what I did and got the incorrect link you posted.

How did you get the correct link?

Aha, got it!

I was clicking on the share icon in the address bar not the word "share" under the actual video player box.

Thanks again Ian!
