    It's covered in the very top most of the sticky threads.

    In the editor that's used when posting, you'll see various buttons to add the tags around the test for you, or you can add them manually.

    The simplest way is to simply press the Youtube button which will prompt you for the link.

    Or you can add the tags manually, wrapping the tags around the video link after v= .

    So http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrNK1Rm3r6I

    becomes [noparse]
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrNK1Rm3r6I
    [/noparse]


    We can also expand on this, by adding the start variable in seconds, to make the video start at a specific time.

    [noparse]
    [/noparse]

    I don't think that last bit works,

    you can also just add the full normal youtube link between the tags, (not a shortened link, or one with extensions (or querys, or whatever they're called))

    eg [noparse]
    [/noparse]

    Hmm, seems something is a bit broken. Youtube are using t as the time variable name, so I'll update that bit now.

    But it seems that a video ID with the t variable doesn't work together, but a full URL does. That seems to be a boards.ie issue.
