I think it would be better like the following. Even though it's longer, I think it's a little easier:

The best way to embed a YouTube! video on BARF is to

1) Click the "Go Advanced" button instead of the "Post Quick Reply" button, then
2) Hit the red YouTube! arrow,
yt-icon.gif
, above your post (you won't see it in the quick reply box - FYI), and then
3) Paste the video ID between the [YOUTUBE] and [/YOUTUBE].


To get the video ID, either:

A) If you're lucky, your video will have a URL that looks like this:
Code:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTfIzWnszrw
and the video ID is everything that comes after the ?v=. In this case the video ID is yTfIzWnszrw.

B) Otherwise, many YouTube! URLs have additional bits after the video ID, so there's a small challenge to extract it. If your URL has more than one = sign or includes &'s like this:
Code:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTfIzWnszrw&t=2s
then the video ID is everything between the ?v= and the first &. Here again, the video ID is yTfIzWnszrw.


Once you have the video ID, paste it in like this:
Code:
[PLAIN][YOUTUBE]yTfIzWnszrw[/YOUTUBE][/PLAIN]

and you get your embedded video:
