nOOb, we need to see an example of this to see what you are doing. The code works fine. You might want to visit the support forums and ask for help. (With an example of a post and what you are trying to add of course.)
If you want to get fancy, you can even provide your visitors a link to download the YouTube video.

Aww!!! I feel honoured… *blushes* Haha.
You are sweet.
I tried it and it works… Thanks! I’m so stupid… I tried reading the guidelines given in WordPress’ “Frequently Asked Questions”, and it gave sense all of a sudden. Bah…
Oh and… Please pray for me? I have an exam tomorrow

I had problems with the Google one in the start actually… I didn’t even try out YouTube. But both of them works for me now…

Sorry for my late late reply… I am from the Punjab in Pakistan. But it’s funny… I called myself Punjaban and everybody tend to think I’m Indian. I can be a Punjaban being Pakistani as well

@Punjaban:
Salaam.
Ok! Thanks for the info.
And it is Viyaah. Not Shaadi. Shaadi is a Hindi word. I think so. Maybe it is Shaadi in Urdu. LOL.
