Click on "Share" under the YouTube video. Select the code and copy it (mouse right-click "copy").

On OOF, click on "Insert Media" button (5th from left).

Insert copied code.

Job done!  :y

nope, still cant do it . I get the you tube code up under "share", press copy and nothing happens-well, I assume nothing happens!Then I press the "insert media " button on OOf and cant see how to insert the applied media. Sorry guys, not very good with this to say the least...

You have to swipe the code with your mouse and then right-click "copy".

In OOF, when you select media, you get the word "media" twice enclosed in square brackets.

Place your cursor between the two sets of brackets (i.e between ][) and right-click paste.  :y
