[✅ Solution] Youtube refusing to connect

Anyone know what the most likely cause could be for Youtube to refuse to connect to Tape ?

My video is not restricted - anyone with the link should be able to open it - https://youtu.be/Xg9ExVTaKtQ

and there are no security restrictions in Tape.

give this link a go:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg9ExVTaKtQ 

Thanks. Where would I find the link normally in Youtube?

In YouTube it should be the main url from the web-browser:

Or if you are in the content creator screen you can copy it from the menu here:

Or you can use this Tape App I have just built to convert the URL:
