YouTube embed invisible

[DandyLyons]

Steps to reproduce

NOTE: I’m not certain if this is an Obsidian bug, or a YouTube issue.

Embedding a youtube video renders an invisible youtube video.

This happens whether I embed as a markdown ![](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw) or even if I embed an actual HTML iframe:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jNQXAC9IVRw?si=cIcD0KrhGhRUXbOh" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N] Y

Expected result

Visible/usable youtube embedded player.

Actual result

I can tell the youtube iframe is rendering because it takes up more space and pushes the surrounding content down. However the video is not visible or clickable.

You could try updating your installer to see how that goes.

Fascinating. For some reason this was solved after I updated the installer like you said. Thank you for the tip. Not sure why that would make a difference.
