    The above does not seem to work for me. I have youtube premium and am trying to play music videos (with no ads). In most if not every case it displays as "Unable to play video" or it plays with ads and is not full screen as desired. I feel your pain Gala

    I have copied and pasted the URL and I have used the embed and neither works. I tried to download the video, and it won't work like that either. It is really frustrating.

    YouTube has a setting that lets creators block third party access. I'm not sure about YT Premium; I have it and never get ads. Are you signed in on the system default browser (Safari/Edge)?

    Is there a way to tell which videos won't work in Proclaim? I tried looking in the "inspect" tab when you right-click the video, but I do not see anything helpful.

    Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't seem to give any indication about whether a video can be embedded in third party apps.

    Downloading the video and adding it should work… but depends on the file type. What file type is it? And what does Proclaim say when you try to import it?
