Tech support...

[RupertBrown]

Ok, it humbles me to admit this, but how the Hell do I post a YouTube video? I saw about a million in the replies to my recent music post and would love to share what I've been listening to, but I don't know how 🙁 (Maybe it's better this way, my wife says my taste in music can be pretty atrocious, lol!) Somebody help please! 🙏

[Nothing_but_books]

I can't believe I know something about computers. Not much, but a bit.

1) Go to Google and search "YouTube Artist Song" (without the quotes).

e.g.: YouTube Ren Hi Ren

2) Pick which one you like. Maybe listen to a couple. (Sometimes, typing "official" in your search will bring up the version direct from the artist's label.)

3) When you're there, on the page where you listen to the music, highlight the address bar at the top of the screen by clicking it.

It looks a bit like this: https: // youtube.com/watch?v=s_nc1IVoMxc

4)Once you've highlighted the address bar (it'll turn blue):

* Copy it to your clipboard by right clicking and selecting "copy"

* OR Copy by using the keyboard shortcut "CTRL + C".

5) Paste your link here by either using the keyboard shortcut "CTRL + V" OR by right clicking and selecting "paste".

Voilà.

Sometimes a song from the U.S. won't pay in the U.K., or vice versa. Then just share song titles.

Good luck. Let me know if I wasn't clear.

[RupertBrown in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Ok, where do I paste it? In the body of a post or reply? Or somewhere else?

[Nothing_but_books in reply to RupertBrown]

Either or both. Don't know about "somewhere else".

Give it a shot here and see how you do.

Just open a reply, and there you go.

[Nothing_but_books]

I wondered why you didn't contribute yesterday. I know! Make a new post soon, and we'll all join in!

[RupertBrown in reply to Nothing_but_books]

That and I get overwhelmed easily, I was unprepared for the volume of traffic on my post. I appreciate it, believe me, and that was kind of the whole point. But I do much better in smaller conversations.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to RupertBrown]

Have I overwhelmed you today, with my wordy response? I hope not.

You're doing great here. Name a problem, solve the problem. Wouldn't it be great if everything was that easy?

[RupertBrown in reply to Nothing_but_books]

No, no. I'm fine with wordy replies, I'm a little long-winded myself lol. It was just the quantity. Too much for me to keep up with. Again, not complaining. Tried to respond to all the replies to me, beyond that it was too much for me.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to RupertBrown]

Is there a way we can step through a bit at a time to make it easier? Happy to help.

[Nothing_but_books]

I just saw Twinkly's response. She has a point. I'm on a laptop. If you need directions for a phone I'm all at sea.

[Nothing_but_books]

You can work a smart phone. I've never had one of those. If that's what he needs, I can't help.

You can do this

[RupertBrown in reply to Dolphin14]

We shall see... I'm at work now, we'll see if I can get something up this evening!

[kenster1]

every faith in you Rupert none in myself mind you even after NBB posting all that.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to kenster1]

I suspect I'm half the problem. We could use someone more concise.

[RupertBrown in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Your answer was perfect. I needed someone to explain it in the simplest possible way, (because that's what level I'm functioning at today, apparently), and your explanation was foolproof (Rupert-proof?).

[Nothing_but_books in reply to RupertBrown]

Hysterical brother, but not the same thing at all.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Nothing_but_books]

I've been interrupted over and over listening, and it doesn't matter. Too freaking true.

[RupertBrown in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Haha, beat me to it! I will try to drop some videos after work. This was going to be one of the first. I have listened to this song probably 100 times in the last two weeks. I'm not even exaggerating. When he starts singing it his like a freight train. Like, "You made us wait eight minutes to find out you can sing like that?!"

[Nothing_but_books in reply to RupertBrown]

Hi Rupert

Hi NBB

and so forth.

😂 🤣

Oh, heck. Mine is gonna be taken down. You deserve it as your first.

[RupertBrown in reply to kenster1]

I will try after work. I was so proud when I finally figured out how to post photos! It doesn't help that my smartphone is basically a potato at this point lol.

[RupertBrown]

Agreed, kindness is always in order.😀

[Nothing_but_books]

Hey Twinkly-🌟

Oh heck. What'd I do now? How'd my name change make you hafta look up words?

Not my fault. SS picked it. Blame him.

Husband's always telling me everything that goes wrong is my fault.

Storm's coming? Where's NBB? She did it.

[Nothing_but_books]

It must be the middle of the night there by now. Ya, I'm just ducky. How 'bout you?

[Nothing_but_books]

Aww... You fretting over the house? Try to imagine being in healing water and close your eyes.

[Nothing_but_books]

Look like Canadian Geese to me.

[Nothing_but_books]

Tell his Lord and master to go back to bed.

[Redsparrow56]

Hi

[RupertBrown in reply to Redsparrow56]

Hello

[Mrspjsmom]

I go to YouTube find the video, press share below the video and copy the link. Then I paste the link here. I haven't figured out a better way to do it yet.

[RupertBrown in reply to Mrspjsmom]

After some help (thanks, NBB) I realized it's much easier than I thought, despite how old my phone is lol. I posted a music video before bed last night. The song is kind of a rough ride, but beautiful in a raw and honest way. Thanks for the info, hope you are well Mrspjsmom!

[Nothing_but_books in reply to RupertBrown]

Sorry Rupert,

Duh. I'm on a laptop, and it never dawned on me I should bow out and let someone with a phone help. I'm glad you got there -- knew you would -- with or despite me.

[Nothing_but_books]

Do you ever get sleep? You're getting as bad as me.

[Nothing_but_books]

I think you're 5 hours ahead of me.

Sorry you're losing weight from stress. That'll be me too soon probably. I've stopped sleeping and trouble eating.

Tea and toast sounds comforting. My toaster's way up in a cupboard. Well, I can have tea. Pixie's invited in spirit. Meow.
