Trouble embedding YouTube videos

Anyone else having trouble embedding YouTube videos using the toolbar above? It started for me a few weeks ago and now when I try to embed the space just shows as blank.

Take a look at this discussion since it sounds like you might have the same issue: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20357&p=130550&hilit=Shield+youtube#p130550

Appreciate the response but my Chrome is not showing a shield in the address bar.

Yeah, this is happening to me now too. That shield is no longer in the Chrome address bar and I cannot see any embedded YouTube videos.

Embedded videos are working just fine for me. Are you making sure you're formatting your posts correctly, making sure that the only thing within the YouTube tags is the unique ID found after "watch?v="?

I believe I'm doing it correctly. For instance, in the URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS2U2U4ZpgE, I'm putting just the JS2U2U4ZpgE between the YouTube tags.

Then it should work. What browser are you using, and is it up to date?

It seems that there is no way to turn off the ad blocker or turn on embedded videos in the newest version of Chrome. Might I suggest using Opera browser?
It will allow you to view the embedded videos here.
