Hi,

 

Can tell me why I can't insert a URL video into InDesign?

(Here is the video I need to insert:https://youtu.be/H9l2PSHHyYM?si=RGnJO4hM0hEay4YN)

I have tried two ways but they both didn't work.

1. I placed video from URL, but when I insert the link above, it said something like this

 

2. I went to Object>Edit HTML, and insert this:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H9l2PSHHyYM?si=mcsrr1ZviknGGgn9" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

but it said this:

 

I am preparing for an art project. Thanks for your assitance in advance. Hope someone can reply to me soon. Thanks again!

Works okay here using InDesign 19.0.1 on Windows 11. Try a new document. Does it work?

Try trashing your prefs.

Hi Bob,

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer.

I reset my prefs (Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.), but it still didn't work. Just can't figure out why...

Have you checked your firewall?

What is the end game here? What are you going to use this document for? EPUB? Publish Online?
