That is cool but it causes the video to open full-screen in a new window and does not open in ShadowBox in a pop-up window on the same page.
Do you have any other ideas? Are you familiar with Shadowbox?
Thanks for your help.

I’ve tried the following YouTube link formats, but keep getting the same result too:
http://youtu.be/video_id
http://youtube.com/v/video_id
http://youtube.com/embed/video_id
Neither one works; the shadow box is seen loading for a split second, before it redirects me to a new page and opens the video in full-screen.
The videos are loaded from images that link directly to the videos, by the way, as in a video gallery of thumbnails; although, I don’t think this would pose any problem?
@vind
please start your own topic.
this makes it easier to track the problems.
I’m having the same issue. YouTube links in any of the variations are not opening in a Shadowbox. Images work great though.
Confirmed, YouTube links in any variations only dim the page, but do not load videos, pictures and galleries work fine.

Calling the shadowbox manually + using the embed YouTube link as follows works for now:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ID_GOES_HERE?autoplay=1" rel="shadowbox;width=640;height=385">Watch the video</a>
But then again, you have to manually add width and height.
This worked for me:
<a title="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOIDHERE&width=640&height=480">Click to watch</a>
Thanks Han – that trick worked for me also. But now I am having an issue with the youtube videos playing the showing the related videos at the end. I have already inputed the ‘?rel=0’ coding, but no dice.
Example of work is http://puasummit.com/about#speakers
Thanks in advance.

Droopie–make sure your URL query strings starts with a ? and separated by &. Here is an example of one of your video’s code:
This:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/RyfmqoHdT7M?rel=0?autoplay=1
Should be:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/RyfmqoHdT7M?rel=0&autoplay=1
YUP! that was it, I forgot the separator. Thanks.
