Hi-I am using Sublime Text 2 and Chrome. When I "use old embed code", nothing shows up. When I try the other embed option on youtube (<iframe>) I get "the file or directory could not be found." Any idea what is happening here? Thank you!-Pete

39,199 PointsI'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.
