Thanks for the prompt reply.

I apologize if I ask rudimentary questions.

When I use what I think you are calling the short URL format it does not show the video as embedded but rather takes you to YouTube and the user has to hit the back button to get back to my website.

Please take a look at the difference between my two implementations of the same video at contextm.com and contextm.com/about. It is the bottom of the two on both pages.

The About page uses what I think you are calling the short URL format (see my actual URLs in my first post of this thread).

If I am wrong about what a short URL is can you please tell me the correct short URL for my video on YouTube to open an embedded window on my website and start the video at the correct time.

Thanks a million for all of your time and consideration.

Best,
