<br style="line-height: 17px; "></div><div style="line-height: 17px; text-indent: 0px; ">I've noticed that when using Toolkits to create a Youtube page that the more recent Youtube embed codes were not displaying during preview or play mode. The Youtube model appeared to initiate but the initial graphic would not appear nor would anything play (just the animated loading icon would appear indefinitely.)</div>
