# Having difficulties inserting Youtube into confluence page using widget connector

I'm trying to insert youtube into confluence page (Chrome)

I followed the steps below.

===============================

From the editor toolbar, choose Insert > Other Macros.
Choose Widget Connector from the Media category.
Enter the URL you want to display.
Choose Insert.

===============================

However, when i clicked insert button.. nothing happens in my page ..

Using https rather than http in my url doesnt work as well...

(I can only use chrome browser)

@YoungKyu Oh 

When you paste the URL in you are taking the one directly out of the browser and not using a share URL.  Also what happens when you hit preview?

I tested on Chrome and it is working on my instance.  You can see the preview and when I insert it the page looks like this.

Here is what it looks like before it is posted.

After I save it then it looks like the same as the preview.  Are you seeing any error in the logs?  Have you cleared your browsers cache yet?

I can see the preview page like above with preview image, but after i click the insert button.. nothing happens... its driving me crazy 

maybe I shoud clear my browser cache.. but don't know how

Thank you for reply btw

@Brant Schroeder Thank you for your help but it still doesn't work with clearing cache.. wish i could figure this out..

Do you have access to a different browser or computer with Chrome?

I communicated with our IT Team and they gave me an alternative solution below.

1. insert vimeo video URL (anything)

: vimeo works well...

2. edit - open in source editor (<>)

3. replace vimeo URL with Youtube URL ..

==============================

Thank you for your help Brant!!
