I ran into a problem trying to embed this timestamped Youtube Livestream URL:

https://www.youtube.com/live/zQ6bjk3V1e0?feature=share&t=1010

When I copy-pasted the above URL into the Media Embed input box, this was error I got said:

Oops! We ran into some problems.
The specified URL cannot be embedded as media.

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?
 
@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.

just copy the website address at the top of the page and paste it in and you will be able to embed the 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.
 
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.

OK, I'll give this suggestion a try in a test post, I will let you know how it goes.
