Not sure if this is because of recent flash developments, but Youtube embeds are not showing on my Android phone. The videos are embedded in my website using the Iframe code. What's the best and quickest way to ensure that videos are playable on all phones. I haven't been able to find any current info on this doing a search.

It's crazy that a GOOGLE youtube embed won't play on my GOOGLE Chrome browser on my GOOGLE android phone (GS3). I would think they would have figured this out.

An example video is the latest post on my blog at webeminence.com/university The iframe border is showing on my phone but the video is not loading.
  • I know I can include a link to video on Youtube but that would be ugly and a pain.
  • Is there a way to include an alternate link in the Iframe so that a link shows IF the video is not loaded? I tried this a few ways and it did not work.

    Figured this out. I just used the Smart Youtube plugin and it added something to the Iframe that solved the problem. Not sure what exactly.
