Questions about Thunkable

I Have just entered my you tube viewer URL e.g. https://www.youtube.com/c/RepublicWorld and its not working in preview,

what to do?

2

Yes. If you are coding on your laptop, then it will say “YouTube.com refused to connect” in the live test on your LAPTOP. If it isn’t working on your phone then check the code again. Then it should probably work. If it doesn’t then send me the link to your project.

I Seems like I had downloaded some wrong version,

I also wanna know what can be done in order to have back functionality, here when I press back button app exists.
and is there any option to have screen rotation ?

If you want your YouTube video to play. It will automatically rotate the screen 90°. If it is for something else, then please be a little more specific :slight_smile:

first of all just check whether the link is correct like suppose it is www.youtube.com you don’t write something like www.youtubea.com and then check. If it’s still not working properly then what you can try to do is to view it on your phone if it’s not working on the phone then it might be a common glitch so yeah reply to this and I will get back to you @naturalsilksarees14

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

You cannot display a lot of websites inside an iFrame. Reason being that they send an “X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN” response header. This option prevents the browser from displaying iFrames that are not hosted on the same domain as the parent page.

I faced the same error when embed YouTube links. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WkuChVeL0s

I replaced watch?v= with embed/ so the valid link will be: https://www.youtube.com/embed/8WkuChVeL0s

It works well.

Try to apply the same rule on your case.

SAMEORIGIN

The page can only be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself. The spec leaves it up to browser vendors to decide whether this option applies to the top level, the parent, or the whole chain, although it is argued that the option is not very useful unless all ancestors are also in the same origin.
