Can't embed YouTube video in Game blogs anymore? (Forums : Support : Can't embed YouTube video in Game blogs anymore?) Locked

Sorry for the weird question but I can't embed a video in my blog anymore. I used to just click the little movie icon and paste the youtube URL.

Now I get this error when I try to submit my post:

"The content field only permits certain iFrame URLs. Contact us, if you would like the iFrame URL you posted added to the allowed list."


Any suggestions? Do I really have to contact support for every single video link? YouTube seems like it would have already been added to the allowed list?

Thanks in advance! Sorry for being so needy lately.


UPDATE:

If I go to the youtube page and click share, then click embed, then copy / paste that code into my blog, then it works.

So it's just the widget on the blog formatting bar itself that seems to be acting weird. I guess this is more of a bug report than a support request now. Anyway, hope the extra info helps.


UPDATE 2:

I am using Chrome browser BTW.

Thanks for the bug report. Anyway it seems best to just copy Youtube iframe code from the YT embed/share section straight into the WYSIWYG editor just like you did - should work even better and neater than the video button.
