Either (assume you are asking if from Mobile or Desktop). KevinL pointed out the solution;
- YouTube short links - Do not work (ie; https://youtu.be/bQzcxQB8mws)
- YouTube full-length links - Do not work (ie; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQzcxQB8mws)
- YouTube full-length links plus a time index (any) - Do work (ie; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQzcxQB8mws?t=0s)
This, unfortunately, is very cumbersome to generate. You can't do it with YouTube's "share" button, since it uses the short link plus the ?t=0s code. You have to get the title bar URL, delete the &feature=youtu.be code, then manually type the ?t=0s code, I guess. (It is not possible to do this from the YouTube app on a mobile device in any capacity - so it's not possible to shoot a video in the field on a mobile device, upload to YouTube, and share to the forum.)
Test:
(I never use the button in the tool bar, I just type the code out since I'm familiar with it and I find it generally easier.)
What shortcode are you using that doesn't work. I used both the mycode and button and both worked to embed a video using the full youtube link that you said doesn't work. Although it is stretched too. That might just be something we live with.
I can't control the linking system that youtube uses.
