  Hey all,

  I tried adding a YouTube link into my blog, and while it worked just fine, I opened my blog in another browser (to simulate someone coming across my blog without a WordPress account) and when I hit “play” on the YouTube video, the following message comes up:

  “This is a private video. If you have been sent this video, please make sure you accept the sender’s friend request.”

  How do I allow the video to be streamed by anybody viewing my blog?

  Thank you much.

  My blog is: http://ambiguoustwin.wordpress.com/

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

  Hi. I guess that means the video must be public then… Any other method of embedding the video would be a violation of the privacy of your friend, no? Just a thought.

  If you just took the link off of youtube, it’s probably a private video. If someone sent it to you, they probably didn’t confirm it.
