I'm going to take a guess here you are trying to embed a YouTube video in an html file on your computer that doesn't a web server.

If that's the case ...

Protocol-less URLs don't work without a web server, so in that case just add http: in front of the URL.

> The main caveat to keep in mind when using the protocol-less reference is that it will fail on pages loaded via file:/// (i.e. HTML pages you load directly from disk to your browser). So, do be sure to include the http: protocol in the URL if you happen to be developing without a web server at all, but don’t worry about omitting it otherwise.

Without the exact code you used, it's hard to know what issue you might be having.

i copy pasted the embed code of the video: ``` <object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_OBlgSz8sSM?hl=en_US&amp;version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/_OBlgSz8sSM?hl=en_US&amp;version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>´´´

but then i used the code without clicking the "Use old embed code" option, it worked when i typed the http: protocol....
