Re: dumb question but..

Do you mean embedding them?

If so, on the Youtube page, click Share, then Embed, and copy the embed code and paste to the forum.

Like so...

we also have native youtube tags like this:
if you stick the part from your original link after the = sign between them (leave out the extra spaces I put in):
[ y t ]Y69kGmPeHw0 [ / y t]

you get the same thing:

but apparently in a slightly different format than the embedded way.
