Have any other game devs that use itch experienced their YouTube video not loading or being blocked? A few friends have reported the same issue

@Sapph_Ink It's very likely related to Google's most recent ad blocker subversions. YouTube's been all kinds of buggy recently.

Can't say I have a fix, unless reuploading and embedding from PeerTube instead counts as a fix.

@jahn gotcha that would make sense. I'll look into my other options then!

@Sapph_Ink I know if you have a godot game built for the web player, it breaks YouTube embeds because SharedArrayBuffers require cross origin isolation or something.

@Spud oh that's super weird, but definitely what it is then!

@Sapph_Ink FWIW Godot is looking to fix this with 4.3

Web Export in 4.3

With single-threaded builds and sample playback, it's now easier than ever to export your game to the Web with Godot 4.3. And more!

@Spud thanks for sharing! Good to know, I'll have to keep that in mind in the future till 4.3 releases
