Make sure all your drivers and add-ons, extensions, etc java, adobe, are up to date and operational (some browsers require that they be activated). Try clearing your cache, and clearing your cookies. Defrag, all the regular computer optimizations, hmmm, can't think of anything else right now off the top of my head, but some people have been having issues for quite a while, not even being able to post images, and sometimes I am only presented with one option for image posting (from url, which is normal for PMs but not for the boards) but then it will eventually clear up, actually right away, and if I am having other problems, I will restart my computer, and that often helps...
It works for me.
1. Go to you tube.
2. Pick a video.
3. Highlight the url of that video and select copy.
4. Come here and select reply with quote.
5. Here's the kicker, go across the top.
It starts with A/A and moves across to the end.
The very last icon with color to it is to insert a video.
It's the next to last icon there is.
6. Click that icon
7. There is a bar across the top of it to put your url video in.
8. Select that rectangular box, right click it and then paste.
9. Then click okay.
10. Your video should show up and then click post quick reply.
Before you know it, you be bragging to all the new people how simple it is.

U
I suspect youtu.be links may be the problem. Youtu.be is a link that is redirected to youtube.com, so it is Not the location of the actual video. So if you try to post a youtu.be using the Insert Video option it can't work.
So don't select the 'share' option on youtube, but copy the full URL at the top that contains youtube.com.

Wow. How did you ever think of that?
You're right. If you click on "share" youtu.be come up.
So instead I clicked on the URL address bar and saved that.
Then went to the site and clicked on the video icon up above at the end of the tool bar.
Now I get a black video with nothing on it.
Wait. I just thought of something...

the problem here is that you used the short youtube link.
about a year ago the forum stopped inserting the short link as a video, so it only shows as a hyperlink.
what you want to do is copy the entire address bar --
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-N7w5d1NF4&feature=youtu.be
and put that in the video toolbox instead.
