Is it possible to embed a youtube link in a post, so that we display a text lable instead of the youtube screen, the way we can with a URL link?
Example: can we do something that will display John Denver performing "Rocky Mountain High" instead of
with the actual video link being clickable?

Okay. I could do that one. What I'm trying to do is get the youtube screen, only, behind the text, without everything else that comes on the webpage.
It may not be possible, and I don't know how to ask the right questions. There's a reason I use for my personal icon.

You basically want it to spawn in a little, seperate media-player like window?
Nope. Don't think there's an easy way to do that.
But, what's wrong with simply embedding the video (with preview, loadable at will) in the thread directly?
And what's wrong with all the other standard info on the YouTube page?

Mike, I guess it's just a matter of personal taste and a desire to achieve a particular effect.
First I want the video to be a surprise. Not a bad surprise or shocking surprise. Just unexpected (the example I used was just an example).
As far as the other information on the youtube web page, it looks like I'll have to live with it, but I'd rather be able to make the "text label" and the video screen a "one equals the other" comparison, without the distraction of the surrounding information.
When we embed youtube videos in a post on this site, we don't link to the webpage; we link to the screen that plays the particular video.
In googling to try to find the answer (before I asked here), I did find something that looked like it might be the right thing, but it involved adding a bunch of code related to the "embed" function, with the five lines of youtube's video address included in it.
Way, way over my head. If I tried it, I'd probably delete Tom's server - or something.
