Embedded YouTube Video Not Displaying

[JJ_Anderson]

Certain browsers (Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer) do not want to display an embedded YouTube video because they view it as “insecure content”. Is there any way to fix this?

See https://www.proformex.com and click “Play Video”…

Also, it might have something to do with the fact that the video is embedded into a popup…

For example, the YouTube video embedded in https://carrier.macropointconnect.com/ displays just fine.

Hey there,

Are you able to take a screenshot of the error displayed in the browser’s console? We can start from that.

Sure thing! Unfortunately there is no error message. The popup just displays blank, and there is a tiny icon in the browser that contains the security notice.

I’ve been having this problem for a while and have just found a solution for anyone experiencing this issue.

When you go to get the embed code from Youtube, underneath “Embed Options” tick the box next to “Enable privacy-enhanced mode” and embed into your page again.
