Embedded Youtube Videos doesn’t work anymore after 3.1 Update

clarification:
this problem occurs only with youtube enhanced dataprotection.
with direct youtube embedding it works with 3.1.0!

Hi @jpkarmatech

Thanks,

What do you mean by enhanced data protection?

Can you specify which settings you added to your Video widget?

Thanks

Hi shilo-ey
YouTube offers the possibility to insert an enhanced data protection link to fulfill EU Data-Protection Law (DSGVO), here a sample of a data protected link:

<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/mL6WvNCCWu8&#8243; frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen></iframe>

The Link without enhanced data protection is as follow:

With the version 3.0.16 of Elementor I can embed the above mentioned data-protectec Youtube link, but with 3.1.0 the Video-Widget is not shown.

If you are placing the code

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/mL6WvNCCWu8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It won’t work for you?

Are you placing this embed code using HTML widget?
Using a Video widget?

Hi shilo-ey

No, with your given code, it doesn’t work with 3.1.
With 3.0.16 it works.

I am using the Video Widget of Elementor and I am copying the above mentioned code of enhanced data protection link into the field ‘Link’.
Up to 3.0.16 the embedding funktion worked fine. There are several Websites using embedded Videos (enhanced data protection) with the same problem.

I am using the OceanWP-Theme.

Perhaps following Link shows, what I mean with ‘enhanced data protection’:
