Note: (from https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/movies-sounds.html)

InDesign is not supporting the playback option for embedded YouTube videos because the YouTube URLs are changed to secure links (https), and therefore, the embeded YouTube video links (http) will not work.

 

Adobe recently dropped support for YouTube video embedding in InDesign. Will this ever be brought back and what is a work-around

I think the explanation on that page of why you can’t use Youtube in PDF is completely wrong. You’ve never been able to and probably never will. YouTube is not a video server of the type needed. It’s full service video player service, not a media host.

If we're being totally honest, there's really no multimedia that's likely to work reliably in PDF anymore.
