How are you embedding the YouTube video? Is it through a third-party plugin? I don't see the YouTube embed code in your Sorce Markup.

Since the YouTube embed code is not available to the plugin, then it does not get added to the Instant Article. That's the reason you are getting rejected in the review process because you are missing elements.

Hi @pestevez - It means though we embed Youtube video in our WordPress site FB Instant Articles do not add and display, right? What else could be the work around to display?

[pestevez]

The part I am missing is how are you adding the YouTube video to your posts? Is it through a third party plugin? The Instant Articles plugin uses the source markup available, so if the YouTube video tags are not there, we will miss it. An option will be looking at other places beyond the source markup, that's why I want to understand your publishing flow.

@pestevez - my case is little different than @Sukhwinder500 I simple copy the Youtube video link like above and paste it to post without any embed code as WordPress render the responsive video. Am I missing anything here?

@humgurung - please check #697, #556 and #761 to see if it is any of the existing issues. If not, can you please create a separate issue so we can better track it?

Hi @pestevez are there any update about @Sukhwinder500 feature request ? I got the same need =)

[Sukhwinder500]

@rbacarin hello not any update?

[pestevez]

Sorry, no updates, however, I believe we will tackle bug fixes first.

Also, in this particular case, I am not even sure if this will be a third-party integration that we will support. While the Instant Articles format supports videos in the header, they have to be a Video element; and YouTube (and other third-party video players) are supported using Embeds, which cannot appear in the article Header.

In any case, please feel free to submit a PR and our team will take a look at it.
