    If the code is correct, then there is a problem with the video. One test is to click the URL part of code, i.e. "https://www.youtube.com/embed/ePbKGoIGAXY". This should show the video albeit on the YouTube site.

    If you're using Bootstrap, the responsive video embed codes are shown below.

    Ben thanks, I plugged in my numbers to your version with object,   but still did not work, just shows code, no video.

    <object data="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mywebsite" width="560" height="315"></object>

    You Tube gives this

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mywebsite" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    (I put in "my website for anonynimity), but get the idea, just get code on page, no video; baffled still.
