Yea this is strange one.  What kind of operating system and browser are you using?

When I use Share on youtube and copy the Share link I get the same big window.

Here's the Share link copied via the "link" icon above.

That worked.  Using the chain "link" icon, I get a text "link.  Using Share or copying the actual url from youtube, I get the big window.

Windows 7, Chrome, desk top computer.

BUT!.  Just can't win.  The link now takes me to youtube, as desired, but starts a 30 second ad.  The whole ad has to play. Crap.

yea, I am seeing only links when you post these.  It "should" be converting the link to an embedded player right after you paste it.  Not sure why it's not working for just your account (it looks like).  I'm going to try and do this from one of my standard user accounts to see if it's a permissions thing.

Trying Barts link (url bar) from a user account with member permissions:

Trying link from the shortened share link:

Now testing with the embedded player code:

Hmm, doesn't look like a permissions limitation in the user-group.  Both long URL (copied from the URL bar) and the short URL (from the share link on Youtube) both seemed to work.  The embed code didn't work but isn't what we are testing.

I've got this escalated to see what I can do to fix it...
