With YouTube: Right click inside video and select Copy URL. Paste URL in message. Done.

Tap on the video, "view on youtube"

Once there, copy the link off the URL bar.

I tried it with this post

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10316343

And to make a liar out of me, a copy link icon popped up. Do so.

OR the above.

Live and learn.

----------
Note, there is no right click menu on ios, just hold finger down. Nothing on videos, but on images "share, copy, save, save subject" popup.

I use the share menu to email myself the image url, copy it, and send or delete the draft email.

Mobile software is awful.
