I've just noticed that on several of the videos that I've posted from YouTube, that when I click on them, it asks me to sign in to prove that I am not a bot. But when I click on the play button at the bottom of the error screen, it takes me directly to my YouTube homepage. Has anyone else ever seen this error?

I got up this morning, and I clicked on one of the very same videos that I couldn't watch yesterday, and it worked fine. So, the only thing that I can imagine is that some algorithm got triggered by YouTube into thinking that I was a bot. I guess that I was watching so many videos within quick succession that something got triggered. It's still a mystery.

Speaking of videos (slightly off-topic), but how does one post a video to this space?
Even if you use the Share tab from the actual YouTube clip, is the URL link here just enough for it to be recognized, or is it some other line of code that has to be typed exactly right to make the clip appear.

Just curious to know.

If you copy the website address and paste it within the [youtube] here [/youtube] and post that, you should be able to see the video on this forum. But the only trick is to leave the "s" off of the HTTP code. Most addresses come as "Https://www. whatever". You must take off the "s" in order for the video to be activated within the [youtube][/youtube].

For example, the video that I'm listening to right now as I'm over here in this forum.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xJZeZQhi5U
Click on [youtube] and place the address within the open and close parenthesis. [youtube]here[/youtube]
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xJZeZQhi5U[/youtube]
Get rid of the "s" in https.
Once you do that and hit submit, you should see this.....
