Hi guys,
I tried to embed a YouTube video into my HTML document as it's done in the video, but the only thing displaying is an empty frame where the video would sit. I've tried previewing the page in both Firefox and Chrome. I also added some other content (h1 tags) either side of the video and these are displaying fine.
Does anyone have any idea why this didn't work?

Courses Plus Student 5,041 PointsAre you testing it locally? If yes you should add http:// to value attribute in param element and src attribute in embed element. Please check the below code snippet.
Video URL should look like this http://www.youtube.com/v/zuhzWKbRq6s?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0
By default they are without http:// protocol.
Something this.
<object width="560" height="315">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zuhzWKbRq6s?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zuhzWKbRq6s?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">
</embed>
