youtube video via SMS/MMS?

[Teegunn]

Is there any way to send a youtube video via SMS or MMS on the 8230?

Yes there is.
1. Go to youtube video you want to send to your device.
2. copy the url for example (YouTube - Elvis - Suspicious Minds).
3. send the link to your device using either an email program or something like google voice and once the link arrives at your phone.
4. click, get link, on the message. your browser will open with the youtube mobile page with the video you sent
5. click on the "watch video" link and once you do so, your media player will popup and start streaming the video to your device.
6. enjoy

Thanks for the reply. I was more looking for a way of adding the link (copy paste didn't work) to an SMS or MMS message to send to someone else so they could open the text and the video would play. I wanted to send some funny youtube clips to some people via SMS is really what I was trying to do. Thanks again for replying!

If you go to a video on your bb browser and click the bb button and choose copy page address it won't let you then paste it into an SMS or MMS message? Is that what you're trying to do?

That's what I did, but the message is sent as a small still picture. I thought one could just paste the link and send as SMS but apparently that doesn't work.
