Thanks. I tried the code, but I must be doing something wrong. I dragged a Text Block, clicked on the “Text” tab, pasted your code and replaced YOUTUBE_CODE_HERE with the long URL of the video. Saved it, updated etc. There is no thumbnail, but the video pops up. I pasted the code below as taken from the text block after saving it. Do I have a syntax error somewhere ? Doesn’t work for me for some reason. Thanks Joe

Thanks, that makes sense for self-hosted videos.

However, I also used the 3rd approach (image element) to link to a Youtube Video. I used the long URL and the short URL, but the image did not show a thumbnail in either case. Should the thumbnails show up when linking to youtube videos ?

Thanks – Joe

The code you posted doesn’t work for me. It doesn’t show the thumbnail and when I click on it, it says “Image could not be loaded”.

Let me restate, I just want to put a video, that shows a thumbnail, when the user clicks on it, it opens into a larger size so they can view it.
Is there no simple way to do this ? What is the solution ?

Please advise.
