I can embed videos such as from YouTube with solely the URL within a blog post on WordPress, but I’m not able to embed that same video within a status update or Forum on BuddyPress.

@stuffwelike there’s a plugin for that, download from trunk http://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-links/forum/topic/buddypress-1-6-support-and-the-future/

So the only way to do this is through a plugin? I thought it was built in to BuddyPress.

It should work out of the box in the activity component, but not in the group forums.

Notices fields are texturized. This means that html insertion is difficult and in fact not possible/not recommended. But you can post video links in forum topics or blog posts.
If you wanr to use many video links, give a try to BP-Links witch is better tailored for community usage as “want to say something, x ?”, intended for global messaging, not for content publication.

@djpaul “It should work out of the box in the activity component, but not in the group forums.”

Is this correct? I can embed video via a link in Group Forums.

Maybe it does then.
