Dumb question.......but how can I add a video to my post here?

[Walt Disney1955]

Maybe as an internet veteran I should know this but I don't. And I don't cutting and pasting it so that only the link is shown up but more like when I am posting a youtube video how can I get the entire image to show up on my post so that someone can click on it right then? Probably simple, but then again I have never learned how and I post on here enough to have opportunities to do it

If it's allowed in the particular forum you're in, put the word "youtube" inside square brackets [] and the youtube code for the video [at the end of the URL there's v=#######, you can just put the ####### part] and finish with the word "/youtube" in square brackets.

So, to put this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXZkin-ZuSg as a clickable play-inside-the-post video [the "code" is qXZkin-ZuSg], it would look like this:

[youtube]qXZkin-ZuSg[/youtube]

And just for example, the complete code to insert the above video looks like this:
