I go into my workspace and enter the video code exactly the same as presented in the video except I use a youtube link. I preview it which brings me to my page and I refresh it. On the bottom of the video it says Source invalid even though I copy and paste the url from the youtube video and enter it where it belongs. Any ideas?

(I'm new so I'm not sure if you have to complete the first lesson in the series or not but the lesson is "The Video Element" in the series)

21,320 PointsOkay I will take a different approach with my answer. I have embedded youtube video's many times.
Go to the video that you want to include in your site. Hit the share button. It will give you several options one of which is to embed the video. Copy and paste the code into the element where you want the video displayed. Preview the page.
