How can I post a YouTube link with the embedded video player on my webpage?

In summary, the person was having trouble with copying and pasting a YouTube link in their post. They noticed others were able to post the whole YouTube player in their post and wanted to know how to do that. The solution was to click "go advanced," click the picture of a TV, and paste in the serial number part of the YouTube link. Alternatively, they could type "["YOUTUBE"]" "["/YOUTUBE"]" without the quotes, but they needed to remove the "v=" part of the YouTube video ID. The person thanked those who helped and confirmed that the solution worked.

when I copy and paste a Youtube link in the body of my post, I just see the text format of the link...BUT I see other PFers have posted the whole Youtube player (so you can see what the video is about before clicking on it)...How can I do that? Thanks.
