I have previously used the video module to embed YouTube videos from my YouTube channel onto my website with no issue. Now for whatever reason, when I add the embed link to the video module all that shows up is the link itself and no video.

The YouTube videos that I have previously embedded still show up on my website with no issue but if I try to embed the same video right now as a test, all that shows up is the video URL. My YouTube access is unlisted for all of my videos and that doesn’t seem to be the issue as the videos I have previously embedded still show up with no issue.

I’m just really confused to why all of a sudden I’m having this problem after years of no issues.

Thanks in advance,

Sarah

Why do they not let you post when you make a new account? I need support.

I just want to add to this thread a strange problem on my site. I’m embedding a few youtube videos on a page but one of them wasn’t showing up, just the text url (`https://youtu.be/…`). So I tried some different videos, they all worked. Then I tired the problem video on a different page. That worked. So it seemed to be a problem with that particular video on that particular page. I thought I would try one last thing and use the normal url, not the sharing url, (`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…`) and that worked just fine. It seems to be the same in the text module and the video module. Obviously it’s not a big problem now since I found a solution but I’m curious to know what the reason might be. Does anyone have any ideas?
