I´m trying to put an embed code on my video but you won´t accept it

Hi Thomas,
When adding a YouTube video to your Upwork profile, please make sure you disable monetization (there are no ads on your video), Adhere to all other Upwork Terms of Service and allow embedding for this video (this will need to be done on your YouTube channel.)
Thank you!

Hi Thomas,
Instead of copying the code, please copy and paste the YouTube video link (www.youtube.com/watch...) into the box. Let us know if you've managed to upload the video to your profile.

Hi Thomas,
Could you please check if this option is selected when you go to edit your video on YouTube and then click on more options?
Thank you!

Hi Thomas,
Could you please click on my name and send me the You Tube video link in a private message, so I could guide you further?

OK. This is many times I´ve had to ask this question!! I got a private message from, I think, Vladimir, but he has disappeared. Here is the problem ... again! I want to put a video on my entry. However, it shows up as me having decided to keep the video private. The message says the owner has not allowed it to be played on other sites. I went to you tube to get a code to make the video public. This is a very long code which you wouldn´t accept. Vladimir tried to find a URL and sent it to me, but that didn´t work either. Getting desparate here ... and don´t want a reply from you which doesn´t help suggesting things I have already done!!!

Hi Thomas,
Could you please check the private message I sent you yesterday and let me know if the steps I shared helped resolve the problem? I just sent you another private message with more detailed instructions. If the issue persists we'll definitely help with adding the video to your profile.

When I ask about uploading video, it says you can add a YouTube or Vimeo video. YouTube quality is terrible, so I placed my video on Vimeo. When I pasted in the Vimeo URL, I got this (see attached jpeg) so what´s the problem?

Only YouTube links work.
Where did you ask and were told you can use Vimeo?

Hi Thomas,
Unfortunately at the moment you will be able to add only a YouTube video/URL. If you have any additional questions, let me know. Thank you.
May 4, 2020 06:43:08 AM by Thomas K
OK. Thanks. When you say át the moment´ will this change? The problem I have is when I use YouTube the quality is very bad, even though I loaded the video at 4k. Much better in Vimeo.

Hi Thomas,
Following up here since we also communicated privately on this subject to confirm that we don't have an update regarding possible changes and currently only YouTube links are accepted for the profile videos feature.
I suspect you might be referring to the option to include Vimeo videos in your profile Portfolio?
May 4, 2020 09:18:21 AM by Thomas K
Hi Vladimir!
Thanks for keeping in touch. Well, it looks like I´m stuck with YouTube. I did follow your advice and managed to get the video embedded. Because YouTube´s default position is low res, I reloaded the video in 4k and now it shows up quite well on YouTube. So far, so good. BUT when I play it from Upwork, the quality deteriorates badly. So, I reverted to playing it directly on YouTube (took allow embedding off) and it now plays quite well. The problem is that, after my video plays, it goes on to show other YouTube videos. Why does the video deteriorate after embedding? If that can´t be fixed, is there a way to stop YouTube playing other videos after mine?
Thanks ... again:) , Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I just tested embedding a video in an Upwork profile and wasn't able to replicate the issue with the quality you were referring to. It does show on a pop up but looks the same as when viewing on YouTube site.
The option to use Autoplay (play next suggested video) is something each YouTube user sets up individually for themselves using this option. So it won't play the same for everybody.
