Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to insert a video from a Website and it is not working and I know it is something simple that I'm not doing, but I can't figure it out. Here is the embedded code from YouTube <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AeMYRCv2Kmc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>. I choose Insert> Video> Video from Website>and paste the code in the text box. When I click okay I get the following message. "A video cannot be inserted from this embed code. Verify that the embed code is correct and then try again." What am I doing wrong?

The embed method doesn't work for YouTube videos. You need to use a webobject instead, as described here.
Michael Hinze, thank you so much! I've been busting my brain over this one. You are a life saver!
Again, thanks a million!
I followed Micheal's page and it still does not working for me.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Hm, your URL works for me. Do you test this locally (on you harddrive)? In that case the video's URL may be blocked. Upload to some server and test again.
Hi Marie-Pierre!
Looks like Michael has popped in to assist you here and I responded to a post here as well.
As Michael mentioned above, be sure you are publishing and sharing your content as explained here.
