I honestly after reviewing that section just think its because it is the old embed code youtube used. It was a combination of ie params and a embed code for other browsers. When I use the new youtube embedcode such as the one used below I dont get that error in workspace. Also Nick says at the end of the video that the code your using really shouldnt be used any more however if you are forced to work with it , that info is a good point of reference. Hope that helps solve any issues and concerns maybe we will get Nick Pettit to help us explain if this is the reason why you have that error.

Hi everyone,

Not sure what the issue is here, but I'll pass it along to the Workspaces team so they can take a look!

That's only an issue if you are developing locally without a web server, which is not the case if you are using Workspaces.
