I dont understand what is wrong with the video link I created in my wiki. Can someone please point out the error as I’m not seeing it
Nancy
Error
Unrecognized video service link.
Example:
[video|http://vimeo.com/1234] or [video|http://vimeo.com/1234]Optional Caption[/video]
Current text:
[video|https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=1w_27zB7Hxc [/video]
Is this a good question?
Hi @nancytreads_xpo,
Your link is breaking because it includes the extra app=desktop URL parameter in the link. That URL parameter is a tool that mobile browsers use to request the desktop version of a web page. For your embedded video, that parameter is superfluous.
Try using the shareable URL that YouTube provides under the video:
[video|https://youtu.be/1w_27zB7Hxc]
The embed link above should render as:
Note that I’ve also used the simplified version of the URL embed. If your video doesn’t require a caption, we recommend using this method. If your video requires a caption, use this format:
[video|https://youtu.be/1w_27zB7Hxc]This is a caption.[/video]
The example above will render with a caption below the video.
This is a caption.
