I only want the link not the actual video. How do I turn this feature off?

How to disable new "add video from web" feature So it looks like one of the "updates" for pages includes this: when I try to include a link to a video on YouTube, it automatically converts to embedding the video in the document, rather than the link. Does anyone know how to disable this feature? I just want to include the link, not the actual video.

what if you don't want the video included, just the text of the link? how do you avoid have to copy and paste 2 separate portions of the link (the only way I've found to get around the world's worst update!)
