  3. Select YouTube Video, Hulu Video, or Google Video. The "Add Video" dialog will appear.

  4. If you select YouTube, "Add by searching" is selected by default. You may search for a video by entering a search word of phrase in the open text field. If you wish to embed with a url or embed code, select "Add by URL or EMBED" and follow the instructions below.

    To add by URL or EMBED, paste in the URL or the Embed code from the video into the open text field and click "Add Video." For more information on uploading videos visit the YouTube help center or the Google help center.

After you've added your video, an "Edit Video" dialog will appear. You can change the size of your video by using the (-) or (+) options. You can also change where your video appears in relationship to the copy on the page by using the layout icons. When you're satisfied with the size and layout of your video image, click on the "Done" button.

Note:
You cannot view a widget while editing a page; at that time, you will see an icon that represents your widget. Your widget will be viewable after you save the page.

I been trying to add a youtube Video to my profile, But no matter if I search it through youtube or directly
enter the embed code. I keep getting the same error:

We are sorry, an error occurred. If this problem persists, please reload the page and try again.

I'v tried reloading the page, waiting a few hours and even trying it on others browsers, nothing seems to work to get around this error. Does anybody know why I can't add videos? I'v done it in the past last year.

I was having trouble uploading using both the URL and the embed code that automatically appears in the embed code box. Under that embed code box are four check boxes. I unchecked the first three and checked the last box "Use old embed code". The embed code in the box above changed. I copied THAT new embed code into the Wetpaint YouTube embed code box .... AND IT WORKED! Maybe it will work for you, too.

Every. Single. Time.

It says error try again. Error try again. I am sick of it.

I click add video and add by embed. Gave it the embed code, error. Gave it the web address, error. Tried the wigets, error. What the hell is wrong?
