 * Hello Roland,
    THANK YOU for all the help so far.
 * Thought I’d try this forum so we can add to the collective knowledge.
 * How might I add a video embed code from You Tube in the pdb? Ideally, so the 
   YT selected frame is visible as the link to play the YT video.
 * ??
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fembed-code-13%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * To actually embed a video requires a custom form element, this isn’t supported
   by the plugin as it is. You can often get away with just putting the URL to the
   video into a rich text field. This will depend on the confguration of your site,
   it will often process the URL as an embed.

 * Thanks Roland. In my world it didn’t work in rich text, but I could of course
   add the URL … just no associated picture.
 * Thanks.
