This morning (January 19), I attempted to post some YouTube videos and, while they look ok in the Preview Pane, error when the post is added.

[Here’s a link to a post from last week that works](https://forums.theanimenetwork.com/t/naruto-naruto-shippuden-boruto/749/538?u=slowhand) and right underneath it is a post made today.

Is this a YouTube problem?

Or did you guys do something to me? 😜

Having the same problem. I thought Onebox had updated but can’t find any new documentation for it.

I can easily reproduce the problem. Looking into it. The onebox works when editing, but once you submit the post it’s broken with `youtube.com/watch?v=undefined` as the url.
