You must ensure the URL contains embed rather watch as the /embed endpoint allows outside requests, whereas the /watch endpoint does not.

The YouTube URL in src must have and use the embed endpoint instead of watch, so for instance let’s say you want to embed this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6N9782MzFQ (browser’s URL).

You should use the embed endpoint, so the URL now should be something like https://www.youtube.com/embed/P6N9782MzFQ. Use this value as the URL in the src attribute inside the iframe tag in your HTML code, for example:

<iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P6N9782MzFQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen ng-show="showvideo"></iframe>

So just replace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= with https://www.youtube.com/embed/ and of course check for your video’s ID. In this sample, my video ID is P6N9782MzFQ.

You only need to copy <iframe> from the YouTube Embed section (click on SHARE below the video and then EMBED and copy the entire iframe).

If embed no longer works for you, try with /v instead:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/A6XUVjK9W4o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Along with the embed, I also had to install the Google Cast extension in my browser.
