Computer questions

[Sheal]

I'm not very good with technology so please reply in idiots terms.

My preferred internet set up is via Edge/Bing on Windows 11. Can someone explain why video links I attach to the Music thread never fully open as others do? It's always been this way, even on Windows 10 previously. Is there a way around this please?

Where are you taking the links from and how are you taking them?

 

[Mr_Yan]

I think I see, you're posting links to the search you ran not to the actual vid.

In this case I see Logan and I both use YouTube. This is what I do:

Find the vid on YouTube:


Click on the SHARE button below the vid. Then a popup window shows up:

Here click the COPY button next to the nonsense https: box.

Paste the copied text here and the code that Mike has in place auto corrects to an in-bedded vid:

Thanks for your help Mr_Yan. I'm taking them mostly from Youtube - copying and pasting the link.

Testing...

At last! Thanks again Mr_Yan but it took me a while to suss it out. Oh, and great music - I'm a huge Led Zeppelin/Robert Plant fan.

Edit: I've tried the above a second time and it's not working and I've no idea why. I think I'll have to ask my son to take a look via Teamviewer. I'm hopeless, give me something mechanical any day and I'll get it sorted.

jumping ship to the Jimmy Page side have you heard this concert? Black Crows and Jimmy Page Live at the Greek:

A quick Teamviewer session with my son (who lives in America) has sorted it for me. What I failed to do was go into Youtube itself. I've always used the multi video sites which I've found easier when locating a particular video and couldn't find it on Youtube.

I'm totally biased. The Black Crowes front man can't replace the voice of Robert, sorry.

Hopefully I can post properly on the music thread now. I'll give it a go and thanks again.
