Trouble embedding video's to a Confluence page

Question

I do not seem to be able to embed a video to a Confluence page.

I used the widget connector like explained in this video: https://youtu.be/fDSIr4fYcss

The video is not embedded, I just see the widget connector icon.

Multimedia macro is not working either (see picture below)

Version used:

* Powered by Atlassian Confluence 7.13.2 (p012: 41ea78e5)
*

Using 7.10.2 server here, and embedding Vimeo videos works, while Youtube doesn't.

The macro does not even show up when attempting to insert it in page edit mode.

Hi,

If I insert the embed url from a YT video, I receive an error. YouTube is not blocked, we can watch videos from this platform.

Using the multimedia macro to insert a mp4 does not work either (see image 1).

I am clueless?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, Barbara

Hi @Barbara Vosmeer ,

Welcome to Atlassian community .

From the above screenshot I see that you are using a tiny url of the Youtube video. Could you please insert the complete full URL and try ?

Also, check if firewall is blocking youtube.com. I have faced this issue once when firewall was actually not allowing Youtube and hence the same could not be embedded . Try the steps and it should work.

Thanks,

Srinath T
