hi. i have tried to embed youtube videos in widgets but i cant get them work.
I cant even get the Shapely video section to show anything.
have done this:
-added a new widget
-copyed from youtube under “share” the address
-added that alone on content area
-tryed "[embedyt] youtubeaddress [/embedyt]

and on video section if i hit play, it gives me error. That youtube “play” icon shows up still"

I have some custom css, can that be an issue

Hello there,

I hope you are doing well today.

Were you able to install the Shapely Companion plugin available via Appearance > About Shapely?
Upon activating the plugin, it will provide access to a widget called the “[Shapely] Video Section”. Please try using that widget to display the YouTube video.

Best Regards,
Support

I’m having the same issue. It looks like the area to add the YouTube URL is missing. When I click Upload under YouTube Video URL, it pulls up the Media Library.

Hello there,

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused here.

In order to have the video work you will have to use the video ID from the YouTube url.
This is a YouTube url, [- YouTube ] and you want the video id which is this part of the url, [5sloRyDg1pM].

So simply add the video id into the Video ID section and that should work.

@creativepfnyc The upload video section allows you to add a video that you have hosted on your site, hence it will go to the media library to find a video that you want to use.
