    No. You just need to put the bit after the question mark in between the

    You just put in the "-Yq_AkhPxj8" bit and not the entire URL. Feel free to try it in this thread!

    As psni said, this is the best way to do it.

    You click the little youtube.gif button and paste the youtube code (the but after "v=" in the youtube URL)

    It will look like this, if it looks any other way it'll probably not work.

    It does work. I had a look at all 4 of your attempts, and each time you got something wrong. Simply follow the instructions laid out in this thread step by step and you won't have a problem.

    I wanted to enter the test area to get embedding a youtube clip right and I can't get in. I tried to post in two separate youtube testing threads and wasn't allowed in. Am I banned or something? Where can I go to do the test?

    No, you're not banned from there, there should be no problem starting a new thread.
