Happy to help. * I can see that it shows a connection error on your website. However, I tried to replicate the issue on a local WordPress installation and I was able to embed the video (Here’s a screenshot: [https://snipboard.io/tZ31iK.jpg](https://snipboard.io/tZ31iK.jpg)). * The only thing that I did different was that I removed the “?feature=oembed” at the end of the URL, since it didn’t work for me when that was included. So I suggest that you try changing the URL to just: * `https://www.youtube.com/embed/FSRfErM4Aw8` * Please try that and let us know how it went. * Cheers! * Thread Starter [jimmyorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimmyorg/) * (@jimmyorg) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-link-youtube-using-embed-block-via-https/#post-15771607) * Hello: Did u mean use the “embedded-block” then key in [https://www.youtube.com/embed/FSRfErM4Aw8](https://www.youtube.com/embed/FSRfErM4Aw8)? When I login to edit the page and tired, the result became show the word of link…. * I have tried to use different browser to see this page…. Like Baidu web browser using Android/iOS phone and Mac, it was workable. I used Winsoft Gloria web browser in Win11, it was workable… * Not sure why it can’t work on Edge/Chrome/Safari web browser…Weird… * [faridjc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/faridjc/) * (@faridjc) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-link-youtube-using-embed-block-via-https/#post-15772438) * > Did u mean use the “embedded-block” then key in [https://www.youtube.com/embed/FSRfErM4Aw8](https://www.youtube.com/embed/FSRfErM4Aw8)? * Yes, this is what I tried locally and worked just fine. What version of WordPress do you have? * Another thing you could try is adding a Custom HTML block and paste the embed code provided by YouTube: * `` * I also tried this locally and works fine. Let me know if it works for you. * Thread Starter [jimmyorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimmyorg/) * (@jimmyorg) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-link-youtube-using-embed-block-via-https/#post-15772752) * I have tried to paste…the result is not working….. * [faridjc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/faridjc/) * (@faridjc) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-link-youtube-using-embed-block-via-https/#post-15783470) * Hello! I was checking the headers of your website and I was able to replicate the issue and narrow it down to this header: * `cross-origin-embedder-policy: require-corp` * Here’s a [screenshot](https://snipboard.io/utEG2n.jpg) of the header as it looks on your website using Chrome inspector tool. If you remove that header, the embed should work. * Check your [htaccess fil](https://wordpress.org/support/article/htaccess/)e for that header and remove it, if that doesn’t work maybe a plugin is overriding your headers, try deactivating all plugins and see if the issue is solved, then try activating them one by one to find the one causing the issue. * Best regards, Farid. * Thread Starter [jimmyorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimmyorg/) * (@jimmyorg) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-link-youtube-using-embed-block-via-https/#post-15783517) * Hi, I checked there are 2 .htaccess under WordPress directory. 1 is under wordpress 1 is under wp-contect\plugins\akismet * I just checked the files, I didb’t find this sentence “cross-origin-embedder- policy: require-corp” * if that doesn’t work maybe a plugin is overriding your headers, try deactivating all plugins and see if the issue is solved, then try activating them one by one to find the one causing the issue. ==> I will check later, thanks.
