  • I’m Trying to get here!

    Posted by the-old-coach on April 26, 2022 at 1:03 pm

    Videos made in YouTube- all good there. Just canNOT seem to figure out to get them to here.

    Watched the little video- “Get help with YouTube here”.

    Just can’t seem to make this last little part work. TONS of trial & error so far in all this video/posting stuff………

    Any help out there- Thanks.

    Great start. So to post here you need to get a link for the YouTube video. When you are at the page there should be an option to SHARE which will then give you a list of all sorts of ways to share. Select COPY LINK then that will give you a piece of text with the video link that you can paste into your post here. The video will then insert into your text. Hope that helps.

    That was weird. I posted a short video right in here- watched it- (right in here)- posted a second video, came back “in” to see if it made it “in” also…….. and they are BOTH…..GONE. Poof! I don’t know if I did something wrong or not– but it’s wearin’ me out. Will try again some time in the future. Sorry about all this. theoldcoach

      Hi there. Very occasionally I have had this happen where it seems to have lost the post. I suspect something has happened in between hitting post and the thing appearing on the site. I once (and I stress only once) had it happen three times in a row. It may well have been my ropey internet connection that day. If you actually saw it come up in the post that does mean you were doing it right. Try it again. You may find the glitch has cleared.

    If the method Moonhare uses isn’t working, try this, what I found works for me.

    When I make a Youtube video; at first it is displayed in a small rectangular box at the upper, left of the screen when I click on it to play. I press to play it, and it becomes standard size as a video does that I check out to watch from someone else. Then I highlight and copy the url address in the address bar. I then paste it in the box I am wanting to put a video in here.

    @the-old-coach, how frustrating to not get your video to post. I used the instructions from the TAC site and I did get mine to post. I had to save the video first to my computer, then upload it to the youtube site. I did it once. that doesn’t mean I’ll be able to figure it out again. Good Luck to you.

    Well- that didn’t work. The whole post turned PINK(?), and the “link”- (I think that’s what it is)- wouldn’t “highlight” (so that I could watch it).

    I really am sorry for looking like such a d*mb*ss with all this. I’ll try again at some time- and I really appreciate all the help, advice, and patience. I’m SURE the problem is with my own inabilities- (like THAT’S a surprise🙃).

    I don’t give up easy….. so just for the heck of it, I tried one…. last…. time…. to get the video’s “link” onto a post in here.

    And it WORKED. I clicked on the (now)-highlighted video-link-thing, and it came on, and I watched it– right here in the TAC Forum, right here in my post!… (Just like normal!)…. Don’t ask me how or why, but it worked. And I could “highlight” it just fine– but all the while, the whole post was still in a PINK box.

    Anyway, so, on purpose, I went all the way back thru the “Forums” process- (just to see if it was accessible for someone just “walking up”, I scrolled down to where the post should’ve been— and— again— like yesterday— POOF, gone.

    Maybe there’s something in the “pink-post” that’s messing things up. Any thoughts on that?- Anybody seen that?

    I’m gonna walk away for now- because I can’t afford a new laptop right….. I give up.

    Tried it again this AM, with a fresh and better attitude, using (what I thought was) the suggestion PhilB said. It wasn’t pink this time- but it was a whole pile of chicken scratch— letters, numbers, symbols, etc— with no way to open any video.

    Again, I am very respectful of our Forum and all of you TAC members- and sorry about all this confusion. I’m very thankful for all the nice comments and help, but feel like I’m trashing things in this thread. What a mess, huh?😕

    There are many things I wish I could do—- including post a video, golf my age, and fly.

    But I remember one of my old line-crew foremen once told me- “Wish in one hand, and crap in the other….. See which one gets full faster”.

    Applying this to me posting a video— I think I have found my “bridge too far”.

    The white flag is out until I can regroup.

    Thanks for all your patience.

    Can you give us the name of the video on Youtube, or the name of your channel, so we could look it up there?

      Phil-

      I’ll try & figure out how to do what you said here. My laptop & I are not speaking because of all this. Apparently, they are not meant to fly.

      Maybe I can try tomorrow(?). Thanks much-ly.

    Well……….. I made the mistake of “trying it” again today… I never learn………

    I’m the mole in Whack-a-Mole. Just when I try to stick my head out……… hoping………. WHACK.

    Again, I really appreciate all the help & advice— I just canNOT seem to make it work. And– I — take full responsibility for that.

    Who’da thunk😜 it’d be much easier to learn & play guitar for an average of an-hour-and-a-half EVERY day, than to make and post a damn 30-second video.

    “Over & Out” on this mess.
