Embedded Youtube fails in everything. swgfl issue?

[chazzy2501]

Hi, now that staff (inc me) can use the swgfl proxy rules to allow youtube for staff it works great...mostly. YouTube videos on youtube work fine but any website that has a youtube video embedded, fails. Also powerpoint embedded youtube fails, this is on 3 different browsers as well.

 

anyone else have this issue?

 

I just get the "an error has occurred"

Just had a similar case - the customer found the answer, turns out for YouTube embedded in PowerPoint you need Internet Explorer's Protected Mode to be 'on'.....

Thats what we found too and we dont use SWGL as we are in Kent.

Thanks, this didn't work for me though, I've tried this with the 64bit and 32bit versions of Internet explorer. (As I'm using office 2019 64bit)

@chazzy2501 In the safetynet admin page, select the youtube policy to "unblocked" for the user policy you want it applied to (if you have multiple)

I just did this for our IT Support user group, and can now see the embedded youtube links in Edugeek, where as before I was getting an error for youtube-nocookies not being available

I recently sorted this on our site and it was an issue with our GPO that pushes our Internet settings. We specifically push our Internet Explorer settings in: User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Internet Settings. Within that policy, cefrtain settings are enabled/disabled in the Advanced tab. Now I don't know exactly which one it was, but it was one of them. Here is the list of settings I have configured in the Advanced tab:
