Starting today, it’s not possible to post any YouTube videos on our website What’s New or Message Forum. YouTube now copies only as an image. Can someone please advise. I can post YouTube videos elsewhere but not on CC. Thank you

Appears to work on classic and responsive.

Make a test page open to all and post the code you are using. Pretty easy then to check code used. I am using the current iframe embed code (that you get in "share", not the much older stuff.

As an experiment, I just posted the URL for a YouTube video to a link on a test page. When I click on the link, the video plays. There is no problem. YouTube videos post perfectly to my site, as always.

Thanks for replying, Scott!

After reading you had no problem posting YouTube video, I did a test video and it works. For whatever reason, upon posting tonight, the video still resembles just an image but it isn’t.
Thank you again!

I am confused. I thought we were talking about the actual EMBED code for a video that shows the video preview+controls right away.

A LINK is a totally different animal and much simpler.

This is typical code for a YouTube video that is entered in Editor Source mode

The embed ID selects the video. So just replacing U6rzz74b0SI with another ID replaces the video.
