    Because of the CORS settings on Google’s servers would tell your browser to not go forward with the request. There are two ways it could eventually be possible:

    • By opening the video in a new page/tab that only contains the video, with the YouTube player, which defeats the purpose a bit.
    • By installing an addon or an app on your device.

      I haven’t checked the CORS headers for YouTube videos but wouldn’t access have to be fairly open to allow embedded videos to work?

        For that they use iframes, which have a different security system.
