Embedded YouTube video not working on iPad problem.
This applies if you are preparing a web page to go on an internet server. It does not apply when entering a text message into a forum such as YaBB.
Updated 2024:
The process is now simplified:
On your PC, go to YouTube and view the video you want to include on your web page
Click the Share button in the row below the video.
In the options, click Embed.
In the pop-up box see the html code provided, for example:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L6vUeNf2wqU?si=tKIQobZFK8oMK5ce" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Highlight and copy this HTML code and paste it into your web page before uploading to your server.
In the demonstration example case below I have centered the video in a paragraph like so: <p style="text-align: center> the code above <p>
Consider modifying the pixel size and other parameters.
Legacy information: This page started a long time ago and a variety of instructions were shown (both bad versions and good versions) but as they are all now obsolete they have been deleted.
