  Hi there, I see a couple of problems with your current YouTube links.

  First, there is a bit of extra code at the end. For example:

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsqCf4K190w&feature=youtu.be

  Should be just

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsqCf4K190w

  Second, the URLs are hyperlinked, will prevent the embedding from working.

  You can read our guide to embedding YouTube links, which includes instructions for unlinking URLs that were accidentally linked:

  Once you make those two fixes your embeds should work.

  Just let me know if you need further help.
