Www youtube com refused to connect wordpress

This has happened to me multiple times.

There are three methods to insert and play a YouTube video within Canvas

1. If your IT Canvas manager has added the YouTube app, click on the icon (looks like an electrical plug) in the rich content editor menu at the upper right. Search for the YT video you want, choose "embed," and the size of the YT window (small, medium, or large). To center the YT window, go into HTML mode by clicking the at the bottom right of the screen, and change the alignment  to "center" instead of 

2. Use the embed option in YT by clicking on "share," "embed," and then copy and paste the HTML code to a Canvas page in HTML mode (.  Embedding in a Canvas page allows you to include text, images, and other media without leaving Canvas. If you paste the code into Canvas and forgot to create a header or other text, return to HTML mode in Canvas, and add
   before or after the YT HTML.
3. If you only want to insert an external link to a YT video within a module, click the + sign at the top right of the module, choose "external URL" in the drop-down box, enter the URL link and page name, click on "load in a new tab," and "add item." Move the new link anywhere within the module. 

I hope this helps. The third option is fickle and will sometimes go to a Canvas window with the YT connection error.

About a year ago, WordPress added a feature that made it ridiculously easy to embed content from various sites (like YouTube, Slideshare, Vimeo) into WordPress sites.

How to embed media in WordPress in a second

If you want to embed, for example, a YouTube video in a post, all you do is paste the URL of the video into the editor, unlink it and save/publish. See our ultimate guide to embedding HTML and iframes in WordPress on WPGarage for more info on how this works.

The problem is that it doesn’t seem to work 100% of the time. Luckily, there’s usually a reason for this. So if you’re having trouble embedding media in your WordPress site, see if the following tips help you out.

1. Your WordPress site isn’t set to enable embeds of this kind.

Whenever you set up a WordPress site, you have the option to allow embeds or not. Make sure you’ve chosen this option.

1. Go to Settings > Media.
2. Under Embeds check the option: “When possible, embed the media content from a URL directly onto the page. For example: links to Flickr and YouTube.”
3. Save changes.

2. You aren’t using the right link

It’s possible you aren’t using the right link. For example, maybe you copied the link of a channel instead of an individual video.

Here is an example of a URL that won’t work:

http://www.youtube.com/illuminea#p/u/1/LlSeZIHroNw

Instead, the URL should look something like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlSeZIHroNw

Lets see it work (all I did was un-hyperlink the above link to get the embedded video below):

Man, it’s so easy I could spit!

3. Extra code is messing things up

Maybe extra code is being added to the WordPress editor without you realizing. Try embedding the link into the HTML editor instead of the Visual one. If you see any extra code aside from the link itself, remove it.

4. The YouTube user isn’t allowing embeddings of their media

When someone uploads a video to YouTube, they can choose whether or not others will be able to embed their video around the web. If they chose not to allow it, no matter what you do, you won’t be able to embed it into your site.

Want to know how to change the embedding settings on one of your YouTube videos? Here’s how:

1. Make sure you’re logged into YouTube (with your Google account).
2. Click on the arrow next to your username in the top right-hand corner.
3. Click on My Videos.
4. Click Edit info on the video you want to edit.
5. Scroll down to Embedding and click the arrow next to it in order to see the two options.
6. Choose whether or not external sites will be able to embed your video.
7. Click Save Changes.
