Video Insert problem

[LEE]

This era is really youtube time.

So I tried to use RichTextEditor(rte) as for it.

But I leaned rte's every mode is not suitable for youtube.

I attached the gif file below.

1. Web Url

well inserted, but couldn't play at all. when I look into HTML mode, all code is well shown properly, but the play is not looking like available.

2. Embeded Code

It's playable, so good. 

But when I tried to look into HTML mode, all code disappeared. I think it is due to iframe code. ok.

But next problem is connected with quick mode support, especially inline, break mode.

Also it is not easy to call again the quick setting menu easily. 

3. Plus the resize the Embeded youtube video is also not adaptive for the window size or rte's one.

Though I want youtube's window size adaptive to its parent window(rte or browser one)

I guess this is also due to iframe.

Anyway I would like to meet any further developed rte component, because I strongly need this one for my blog board and other forum purpose.

So I wanna ask you guys there is any other solution to solve this problem even this latest version of rte?

Thank you.

Regards,

Mr.LEE

I was so exited finally you improved it after checking your reply.

And I tired it with 26.1.40 release.

Bang, but it is the same thing like before, nothing changed.

1. URL mode : only black windows frame with youtube, nothing working.
2. Iframe mode : it could play but when I try to edit some code, after then all code disappeared, subsequently video clip diappeared also.

Hi LEE ,

Query 1."URL mode : only black windows frame with youtube, nothing working."

As we updated earlier, We couldn't reproduce the reported issue at our end. Could you please share the web URL link which you tried to replicate the issue?

Query 2. "Iframe mode : it could play but when I try to edit some code, after then all code disappeared, subsequently video clip diappeared also."

We have tried to reproduce the issue by inserting an embedded youtube video into the Editor and then switched to source code to edit. But issue doesn't replicated at our end when we switch back to preview mode. Please refer to the attached video illustration for reference,

Share us with exact issue replication steps along with video illustration for better understanding?

Regards,

Vinitha

It sounds like you’ve run into three of the classic headaches with embedding YouTube videos inside an RTE:

1. Web URL insert not playable – This usually happens because the RTE is treating the link as plain text or a non-iframe object. Even though the HTML looks correct, the editor’s rendering engine may be sandboxing it.

2. Embed code disappearing in HTML mode – Many RTEs strip iframe tags for security (XSS prevention), which is why the code vanishes when you switch views. This is often a configuration or whitelist issue—you’d need to explicitly allow iframe embeds from trusted domains like YouTube

3. Non-adaptive resizing – YouTube iframes default to fixed pixel sizes. You’d need to wrap them in a responsive container with CSS (e.g., using position: relative and padding-bottom tricks) so they scale with the parent.

If your goal is to have a reliable and responsive embedded video experience—especially for blogs or forums—it might be worth considering integrating a video instead of depending on YouTube’s embed behavior inside an RTE.

For example, VPlayed offers a white-label, embeddable player with full responsive design, adaptive online video platform, and secure embeds that don’t get stripped by HTML sanitizers. This means you could upload and stream your own videos without worrying about iframe restrictions, while still getting player customization and cross-device compatibility.
