Hi – thanks for your reply. I know this is going to sound defeatist and lazy but I simply cannot believe that in this day and age of automation that BBP makes you have to do all of this technical stuff.
I run a blog for my client that you can see here on non-hosted WP. They’re very happy with it:

You’ll see in the blog that it’s so easy for me to just plug a YTV video in there. So now my client wants a forum where they can allow others to post a wide variety of YouTube videos presented in ASL (like the example in the first post). But what’s mind blowing to me is when I set up BBPress, I’m amazed that this feature of embed is not right there and ready to go; but instead, I have to tweak and do all kinds of complex stuff like adding codes and stuff. Wow.
I chose WP because the blog (not the forum) does all of this for you conveniently so I can do my job of publishing and not have to worry or figure out all of these codes and stuff. Why in the world would bbPress be completely different.
Anyway, thanks for your help and I’m not really sure what to do at this point about my client’s forum needs.
