On embedding video problems:
1. Use the SHARED link function from the YouTube video - and not the webpage URL from YouTube
2. Set cursor in the body of your draft post where you want the upper left corner of the video to be
3. When you click on the "Insert Video" icon, select YouTube as video type and under Video URL - DELETE the prefilled in http:// and then paste the shared link from YouTube into the video URL field.
The video SHOULD post; however, it may come up in your draft post as a black field and the YouTube "Can Not Play" warning may show. Select Preview Post and it and it should work. Then post the post!
That's pretty much what I did, but when I posted it, it still came with the "cannot play" warning, so I just gave up in the end. I suspect you can't do this with some videos for copywrite reasons.
