 * Hello!
 * I’d like to embed YouTube video to post page using the iframe API, but it isn’t
   working using the html editor. I want to do something like here:
 * [https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference](https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference)
 * For example if I put the code from the link to a post page, nothing is shown 
   when I preview.
    (I have basic coding skills)

 * What are you trying to embed? You don’t need to use the YouTube iframe API especially
   as it will not work in a post.
 * Try just pasting the URL into your post instead.

 * I want to use the iframe API for different purposes with javascript. So there
   is no way it will work in a post? =(
