    Video Embedding?

    When I copy the embed code from YouTube, the result is a broken link when viewing in IE and a straight up failure to load the page using Vivaldi. I tried copying the exact embed code from posts that I saw successful YouTube embedding, but the links break. Anything I'm missing in the proper method?

    The attached error reads: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_XSS_AUDITOR

    So I just go right to the "share" button on the video on YouTube I want, then click on "embed" and then take that chunk of embed text and pop it right in a post. And voila:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m-9l0qXj4Is" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    I use Chrome generally to do this, but same concept works in Firefox -- and I assume Safari (and I don't see why the same wouldn't be the same for Edge, aka IE). Don't be weirded out if you preview it and there's nothing there, when you submit your post it should show up.

        Interesting! So it breaks in the preview, but it works when the thread is published. Thanks for pointing that out!
