BryanChung Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Can you still paste the full link of youtube on your MSN conversation with friends? I thought I was the only one but my friend can't too. * The following message could not be delivered to all recipients:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtFMylC41VU only when i removed the "www" and paste "youtube.com/watch?v=dtFMylC41VU" then it works.

0 kingpunk Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 In that case, just make a tinyurl of the link you need, and then it wouldn't be blocked. http://<< spam >>/24qg2v = http://youtube.com (as an example). hope this helps, -KingPunk Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636081-cannot-paste-youtube-links-on-msn-chats/page/2/#findComment-589389247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GrimReeper Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Just tested it and it doesn't work. Sure you can just remove the www or use tinyurl but we shouldn't have to. Somehow I suspect this is another idiotic idea from Steve Ballmer.

It doesn't matter which version of WLM you use, as it is blocked server-side rather than client side.

0 Rascally Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I first noticed this here just now: http://www.fanatic.net.nz/2008/05/10/messe...nks-to-youtube/ Tried it out, sure enough, anytime you try and send a youtube URL over messenger, it gives the "following message could not be delivered" error message. And, just like in the article, if you change the .com to .info for youtube, it sends just fine. And on a weekend....how odd, eh?

0 xpgeek Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Thats bullcrap. Messenger getting ridiculous with these url blocks, now youtube? I don't need messenger protecting me / censoring me from links. If this isn't fixed by time I get home later tonight then I've officially had it with msn/windows live messenger, uninstalling n never using again. People wanna talk to me they better get on google talk.

0 omganinja Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Whats going on? This is happening to me with any link, not just youtube. I dont think this was done on purpose because its incredibly annoying and will most likely stop alot of people from continuing to use WLM.

I am aware that there are workarounds but hell I don't want to remove everytime I paste something or make a t?nyurl out of it, this is ridiculous. Bold move there Microsoft.
