Finding embedded Youtube video URL on iPad in Safari

Hi, I'm trying to find the Youtube URL for a Youtube video embedded on a web page. I would at least think it's possible to open up the embedded video in the Youtube app so I can use its share function, but for the life of me, I cannot find a way to do this in iOS. I want to share only the embedded video with a friend, not the web page in which the video is embedded. Is there a way to do this or am I going to be forced to move to a different machine?

In the embedded video if you see the little "Youtube" tag at the top right corner, tap on it. It will open a new page, and then ask you if you want to open the video in the Youtube App.

From there you can share the video using the twisted arrow icon.

Hey, thanks for responding. In the top right corner I only see a button that toggles the perspective between 16:9 and fullscreen.

Most embedded youtube videos I see, have the little Youtube lable at the top like above.

Are you sure its a Youtube video?

Hmm I see what you mean, but I guess this video just doesn't have it then.

Hmm, yeah I see. That particular video doesn't have the framing. hmmm. Seems like you wouild have to do this on a Pc browser. I don't see a way to do it from the iPad itself.
