Embed YouTube on Mobile

[Lauren_Steinberg (Lauren)]

Hi! I’m wondering if there’s a way to embed YouTube links directly in posts. I see it working on the web, but on mobile (in our app), when you click the article it will just show you a YouTube link, not the embedded video.

Thanks,
Lauren

Are you talking about hyperlinks?

Please provide a screenshot of the link that isn’t working.

It just shows a link instead of embedding the video

That seems like a problem with your app, but you’re not alone.

Youtube videos onebox embedding stopped working

Since a few days (I’d say just after updating to Discourse 2.5 beta 5 - and continues on beta 6 - but it can well be a coincidence) embedding of YouTube videos works itermittently. After a few hours not working, it just restarts embedding OK. Since yesterday, it stopped working completely. I don’t see any specific suspicious error in the forum logs. Could it be a timeout problem? Is there a way to specifically investigate this? Thanks in advance!

Paste a link to a YouTube video on a line by itself like so
