How to make YouTube videos in scratch

In some projects, I have noticed, that people put a YouTube link to watch how to play/Animation replay if too laggy/etc.
The YouTube links are CONNECTED to scratch.
Example:
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/C9ARR7wxKYw

see, the url. I have made the scratch url big, and the youtube one italic.
How can we put a youtube video in scratch?

How to make YouTube videos in scratch

You need paste youtube link to scratch discuss message and when you click it, video play in scratch. And you have a link.

P.S.
In youtube video on scratch you can't use fullscreen. Add message if you want to send youtube link:
(Copy link, open new tab and paste link to use fullscreen mode)

Okay, so I get the whole thing, thanks, but I don't get the “paste the link in scratch discuss message” so clearly. Should I post a new post in the disscusion forms? Please explain, thanks.

How to make YouTube videos in scratch

The easiest way to do this would probably just be to edit the URL which starts with
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/
So, for instance, if you want to watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zT-Z8dSsmQ through the Scratch player, just copy that stuff after the equals sign into the partial URL above:
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/7zT-Z8dSsmQ
Another option is to just click the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zT-Z8dSsmQ link directly — any YouTube links posted on the forums will redirect you to the Scratch player. But I wouldn't recommend making a new post just to post a YouTube link; we find that off-topic and usually try to remove such posts when we see them.
