YouTube Livestream Embed Does Not Work For Le Web

If YouTube wants to be the dominant player in providing livestream service over USTREAM.tv, it’s got to get its act together with respect to embedding its livestream video – something that USTREAM.tv has down.

UPDATE: You have to select the embed option that is not https for the embed to work.

I experienced the YouTube livestream problem just moments ago, while making a blog post about Le Web London, the tech confab underway now. This livestream code below didn’t work – I’m about to post it, so if it works, awesome, but if not, the problem is still with us:

Hopefully YouTube works out the issue so the code is 100 percent reliable, 100 percent of the time.

Stay tuned.
