I seem to be unable to embed youtube videos as of late. What's the dealeo?

I know the tags are but all that shows up is the embed code from youtube.

Thanks for any help.

I pasted the youtube embed code between [ yt ] [ /yt ] but just get the embed code showing up.

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xOt6O1bJOjk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xOt6O1bJOjk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

You take http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=***********
and put the video id between the {YT}***********{/YT}

So, in your example:

Stop using the embed code. We don't allow HTML in posts so it will never work. Use the Video ID after the V= in the URL.

{yt}xOt6O1bJOjk{/yt}

Thanks for the help.
