YouTube element is not taking any YouTube links

[Joe_T]

Says “Invalid YouTube vi-deo link”.

I’ve tried youtu.be and youtube,com/watch links, heck, even youtube,com/embed ones, nothing seems to work. I don’t know what I’m missing… seems pretty straightforward to use. Same happens with the vi-deo element.

• Tried links straight from the address bar (with https)
• Tried without https
• Tried without www

Embedly recognizes these URL schemes-

YouTube Embed Provider | Embedly
