Falied to embed a youtube video.

Hi, I was following the html deep dive and couldn't embed the youtube video as shown in the Embedded Elements video. I even copied the code form the project files, wich by the way worked perfectly. Can anyone help me?

Could you add the code you've tried, maybe make a CodePen?

Protocol-less URLs don't work without a web server, so in that case just add http: in front of the URL. Also Youtube videos don't seem to be able to be embed in codepen or similar online code playgrounds.

Thanks adding https: in front of both URLs in the embed code fixed my problem.

That really solved the issue. I guess I just assumed the code would run as it was. Thank you for your help.
