Hello @MarkA3887 ,

 

Are you getting a specific error message when adding the link for the YouTube video? Are you using the URL in the main address bar, or the shortened URL provided via YouTube's Share button?

 

It's possible there's a blip with the embed.ly service occurring. If the issue you described is still occurring for you at the moment, the best workaround would be to link via text, an image, or a button.
