The old post was too complicated so I replaced it with this one. Here is the less complicated version...

Simply paste the link into the appropriate box after clicking the "Embed Video / Social Media" link below a message box.

That's it!

In YouTube and Ustream you copy the link of the page that the video is on and paste that into the appropriate box. (You can only embed recorded Ustream videos using the easy built in embed feature in the forum.)

As for Facebook and Twitter, click the date of the Facebook post (whether post or image) or Twitter tweet. The dates in the image below for example:

A note about the Facebook image, you want the link of the page the image is on to embed the post that the image is in. If you want to only show the image, then you need the actual URL of the image itself and for that you must use the "Image" feature at the bottom of a message box at CaneTalk.

All of the below work when you paste them into the appropriate box:
