Yes. If you are coding on your laptop, then it will say “[YouTube.com](http://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. ---

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 🙂 ---

Hi rockade, Good to see solve problems. I do have same problem of ‘refusing to connect’ though some other websites connect The link [https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5f12a8162b27505b9059e1e8/67d62c17-4557-4083-947d-002399fd968f/designer](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5f12a8162b27505b9059e1e8/67d62c17-4557-4083-947d-002399fd968f/designer) Thanks in advance Rgds NSS ---

first of all just check whether the link is correct like suppose it is [www.youtube.com](http://www.youtube.com) you don’t write something like [www.youtubea.com](http://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 ---

> [@rockode](#): > > it will say “[YouTube.com](http://YouTube.com) refused to connect” 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](http://net-informations.com/q/mis/youtube.html) 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. ---
