  I am trying to post a YouTube video onto my blog: pastorbob.org. However, when I preview the post and try to play the video it says, “The video contains content from SME. It is restricted from playback on certain sites. Watch on YouTube.” I have used videos before, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Help please.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey Bob,

  In this context, SME normally refers to Sony Music Entertainment, meaning the video is copyright protected, which is preventing you from embedding it on your site. Can you let me know the name of the post where your video is uploaded so I can take a look?

  Jeremy,

  I haven’t posted it to my blog because it wasn’t working and no one would be able to see the video. Is there another way for me to get it to you?

  Here is the YouTube link for the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te0hy2YcLgg

  Hi Bob,

  That YouTube link appears to be working correctly on my side. Can you make sure you’re posting the link on it’s own line?

  If you’re still having trouble, could you copy and paste the link into a test post on your blog so I can see it in action?

  Jeremy,

  Here is the link for the post:

  When you click to play the video you will get the restriction message.

  Not sure if you fixed the problem, but it is working now.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi Bob,

  The YouTube video in the post you mention is working correctly on my side as well right now. It seems like this may have resolved itself. However, please let me know if it gives you trouble again!
