It looks like it didn't last very long and things are back to normal now.

My new post

(note the white space at the bottom, where the YouTube embed should go.)

I also checked the WordPress Support pages for video embeds, and found the same thing: white spaces in the examples, where there should be a video.

I'm using Google Chrome ver 24.0.1312.57 m

As an example, I used this link

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA2FjEOyl9I]

on this page

and it was working, but seems to have stopped working this evening, along with all of the other videos.

Thanks.

Try using the shortcode, [youtube=URL] that always seems to work.

2) Safari 5.1.7, but used a remote device too and saw the same problem

3) Using the URL in the Add Media window

It looks like I'm not the only one so maybe I'll hold tight and refrain from pressing the panic button. Thanks for the response. If you have advice or a solution, I'd still appreciate it though.

We need a direct link.

2) what browser and version are you using?

3) what method of putting the YouTube in are you using? URL? Shortcode? Embed code?

Updating the URL on the post doesn't fix the issue. Help please.
