Maybe instead of two forums just migrate everything here. Should there be a "family friendly" section of the forum?

Oops! We ran into some problems.
The specified URL cannot be embedded as media.
https://youtu.be/XXXXXXXXXXX?t=XXX
- that I was able to embed it.just copy the website address at the top of the page and paste it in and you will be able to embed the video.I ran into a problem trying to embed this timestamped Youtube Livestream URL:
When I copy-pasted the above URL into the Media Embed input box, this was error I got said:
It was only after I modified the URL by hand to look like a timestamp within a regular Youtube video - say,https://youtu.be/XXXXXXXXXXX?t=XXX
- that I was able to embed it.
Can this be corrected somehow so I can use the actual URL without having to modify it by hand?
Don't use the insert media just copy the full URL and paste it and the video will be embedded.@Sailfish I don't mean just copy-pasting the URL into a post, I mean literally embedding the video using the "Insert Media" box:

When I copy-pasted the full URL into the "Enter media URL" input field, I got the above error.
But then I won't be able to link to a specific part of a Livestream. I need the time-stamp.just copy the website address at the top of the page and paste it in and you will be able to embed the video.
Hold on for a minute. Let me check.
This is kind of a workaround but it will do the job. Go to the section that you want the video to start at (in this case I chose 42.14 minutes). Right click with your mouse on the video and chose the option I have selected and embed the video directly. The video should start at the section you want. However it will still embed the full video.But then I won't be able to link to a specific part of a Livestream. I need the time-stamp.
Livestreams are usually very long, so posting them in full when you only want to show a small part will not do.
Like I said above, the URL format for a timestamp within a Youtube Livestream used to be the same as for a regular video, but Youtube have changed the Livestream URL format itself, and XenForo apparently hasn't kept up with that change.

Thanks. It was not unexpected. He was 99 at his passing and had been declining for some time. But he lived a full life and was a veteran of WW2.@Sailfish My sincerest condolences to you and yours. RIP.
