Swapping video sources for a web site header — doesn't seem to be working

I am working on my dad's website (http://kgshowroom.com/test) and am trying to put in a looping video header in the top of the site. Right now I have a placeholder I put in of the milky way at night, but I created a super simple video that I uploaded to youtube (private): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lQiiyzBMvo

I tried swapping out the code in my index.html file where the old source code was (previously, it linked to a vimeo source). I've checked the css and I'm not seeing anywhere else where it could possibly need to be updated other than where I updated it already.

<div class="header-video"> <img src="img/masthead.jpg" class="header-video--media" data-video-src="9lQiiyzBMvo" data-teaser-source="video/masthead-teaser" data-provider="Youtube" data-video-width="500" data-video-height="281"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lQiiyzBMvo">

(The youtube URL is the part I updated, then I added the 9lQiiyzBMvo to the "data-video-src" just in case. Neither worked).

Any ideas?

I took a look at your source code quickly, and I see what you're saying.

Try changing the settings on the video to "unlisted" rather than "private."

Thanks, Stephen Van Delinder — just gave that a go, but it doesn't look like it's doing anything. Thoughts?
