Shalom family,
After careful consideration it has been decided to temporarily disable YouTube video import on our platform. While existing uploaded videos will play, we will not be allowing YouTube video import for the foreseeable future.
There are two main reasons for this decision. 1; We don't have complete control over the YouTube embedded player or it's integration into our platform. 2; The YouTube embedded player is breaking the functionality our own native code and features.
For example, users create a playlist of videos to watch and enable autoplay. Native uploaded videos autoplay correctly and normal, but the moment a YouTube video is added to cue, it breaks the playlist and autoplay.
Lastly, we find that Hebrew content creators that rely primarily on YouTube as their content delivery strategy aren't really invested into our platform. We are secondary and low priority.
Therefore we are focusing our efforts in creating the best experience for our users and offering the best features and functionality we can provide. To do that, we must be anchored to ourselves and develop our own systems. We are beginning to do that now.
For those that use YouTube as your main content delivery strategy, we encourage to share your YouTube video links here on HebrewConnect.com.
If you have any questions, please let us know.

I was wondering what was going on. Thank you for the update, Moreh.
