I'm trying to add the following URL to my videos:
http://youtu.be/pzVEMUyitQk

It keeps telling me: "Please enter the video URL".
Any suggestions?

Looks like you typo'd the address...get rid of the dot (.) in "Youtu.be"

No. That is the format of YouTube addresses now.
Mmm. Well, that's the address they give you to share it. I'll try actually copying the URL from the address bar. That one doesn't look like it's using the shortener.

Yep. That worked. The Bandmix system must balk at that format of address. Worth remembering.

Thanks for your reply.

I pasted your original it into chrome and this came up...(I'll remember April]
at:

Now, if you cut and paste
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzVEMUyitQk&feature, this works as well...and I'll bet the link will be accepted.

If you're on your "channel" there's a checkbox that says "Long Link".

That will give you something like this:
