Embedding YouTube video

HTML & CSS
1

Has something changed when it comes to embedding YouTube videos to websites? For some reason the embed codes do not work, neither the short or older long one. Any suggestions…

2

I have had no problem of recent embedding youtube videos. :slight_smile:

3

This is the video I am having trouble with… I wound up just adding the link but I would have preferred “embedding”

4

This is the code I would typically use

<center><iframe width=“560” height=“315” src=“//www.youtube.com/embed/qYLwJRf8b34” frameborder=“0” allowfullscreen></iframe></center>

It works here: http://jsfiddle.net/DvyuF/ do you have a flash blocker installed perhaps?

6

Hah, I have no idea what that is…like I said I have linked to many videos but this one will not work. Can you explain what a flash blocker is?

Maybe copy this page’s view-source?

i.e.

<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qYLwJRf8b34"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qYLwJRf8b34" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed>
</object>

Just occurred to me that I just upgraded to IE 11. Could that have anything to do with this? I went to your link (thank you) but it just confused me. Maybe I need to go back to IE10 or live with this problem.

Well I just uninstalled IE 11 and I am still having the problem…I give up. Thanks for your help.

I just came to this page using IE11 and the embedded video showed OK

I tried your code and it didn’t work for me either.
I added http: to your code…

<center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qYLwJRf8b34" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>

… and it worked.

Hope this helps…

Thank you, thank you, thank you scout. The html apparently was the missing link. I got it to work. Gratifying to know folks like you are out there looking to help. Appreciate it…

Not a problem, glad to help…
