What you have to do is use the youtube code after the “=” sign at the end which will have random numbers and letters.  
Click the Youtube button ![http://shift518.com/Themes/default/images/bbc/youtube.gif](http://shift518.com/Themes/default/images/bbc/youtube.gif) and paste that code

Example: If this is the link to the video…

Use this part of it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=) **xAuQmJzt\_q0** in the ![http://shift518.com/Themes/default/images/bbc/youtube.gif](http://shift518.com/Themes/default/images/bbc/youtube.gif) button.

Ergo…

**xAuQmJzt\_q0**

Pasted into

[yuotube=425,350] **xAuQmJzt\_q0** [/yuotube]

And viola!

Without some really hard trying the button only works for YouTube posts.
