This is what Google AI had to say:

To embed a YouTube video on Vanilla Forums, simply copy the video URL from YouTube, paste it directly into the forum editor, and the platform's "Smart Embed" feature will automatically embed the video; you don't need to manually generate embed code as the system handles it automatically when pasting a valid YouTube link.

Key steps:
Get the YouTube video URL:
Go to the YouTube video you want to embed and copy its URL from the address bar.

Paste into Vanilla Forums editor:
Open your Vanilla Forums post editor, place your cursor where you want the video to appear, and paste the YouTube URL.

Automatic embed:
Vanilla Forums will automatically recognize the YouTube link and embed the video player within your post.

Important points to consider:
Smart Embed feature:
This automatic embedding functionality is made possible by Vanilla Forums' "Smart Embed" feature, which works for various social media content, including YouTube videos.

No need for embed code:
Unlike some other platforms, you don't need to copy and paste a separate embed code from YouTube when using Vanilla Forums.

Check for compatibility:
Ensure your Vanilla Forums settings allow for video embedding and that the YouTube video you want to embed is set to allow embedding on its settings page.
