Hi there, I am using the code to open up a model and play an embedded youtube video, however I am getting an error saying the video can't be connected to (see screenshot)

Here is the code:

Watch Showreel

Also usign this code as an alternative but it also then gives an error saying 'youtube failed to connect'...

<div class="modal1 mfp-hide" id="myModal1">
<div class="block mx-auto" style="background-color: #000; max-width: 80%">
<div class="text-center" style="padding: 0px;">
<iframe width="1920" height="1080" src="https://youtu.be/A9mIeVPYgz0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I've tried with both youtube and vimeo links and getting errors both times.

Hello,

We have just checked it out and it appears to be working fine for us: https://canvastemplate.com/lightbox.html .

Make sure that you are using this Format for the YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9mIeVPYgz0 . For Vimeo, make sure that the Video is shareable and allowed to be embedded.

Hope this Helps!
