View Full Version : Embedding videos difficulties

I seem to have great hit and miss (much more miss) difficulties embedding videos on here (and email).
For example, this should embed a Jeff Beck video (copied the link from Share - embed):
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GWwsd5APlgw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Yesterday I was able to get another one working, but when I tried to do it again later (same link - to prove a point) it wouldn't work.
¿Que?
Without the last code block:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GWwsd5APlgw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

This was the successful embed:

So, I'll try to do it again:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_jQGrpNXAqc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Nope, as I thought.
and a normal link (offered by YT in share):

Dunno, maybe a software upgrade or an unintended consequence of an update.

Nah, same day mate. Anyway, it's sorted out another way so that's cool. Thanks for your help.
