I’ve always used to embed entire playlists in the video component. Yesterday, playlist embedding simply stopped working. Embedding a single video works, but playlists don’t.
All I had to do was provide a playlist link and the playlist would load.

If you open Browser’s devtool console with F12 and Console Tab, refresh the app and check if there are errors when loading the video.

Yes, several errors.
I did a test. I placed a video component and inserted a playlist link. The playlist loaded normally. I left the page and returned to it. The playlist did not load (just the black rectangle).
This happens for any playlist link.

Is the video from YouTube?

Yes, I am referring specifically and only to YouTube videos.
When I put a link to a single YouTube video in the video component, it works. For example:
*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9yGcKlYAiw
The problem is when I put the playlist link, it doesn’t work:
*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9yGcKlYAiw&list=PLD954AD90548599FE
But the above way worked perfectly until yesterday. I have always used to embed playlists in the video component this way, because my business involves video lessons.
Putting the link in the way below doesn’t work either:

Can you try using this in a web embed component:

I’m using the embedded component for now as a workaround, but it’s not ideal. In the container tabs component, there’s no way to control the dimensions of the web component and it stays the way it is in the image. When the playlist worked in the video component, it kept the original dimensions of the video.

Try removing the old component and use the new video component instead. Your second link works fine in my app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLD954AD90548599FE

You mentioned removing the old video component and using the new video component, but here only one video component option appears. When you insert the link below into it, the result is the image:

Is there some new video component that I don’t see yet?

The moment I insert a new component and a new link, it works:
After I leave the page and come back, it’s not working anymore. Doesn’t this happen to you?

This is a bit strange… It doesn’t happen on my side, even when using both of those different URLs.
Are you sure you’ve removed your old component?

I admit there’s a slight bug: when I paste a new playlist video URL, it still shows the previous video.
But when I remove the URL and paste it again, everything works correctly. Using the embed URL is more stable.

What do you mean by removing the old component? Here only a video component appears, there is no “new” component.

There isn’t a new video component. Just avoid pasting the URL directly into the same component you used previously, to ensure there isn’t a related bug.

Yes, I test it by deleting the previous component and inserting a new component and the link again. It works right away. Then I leave the page and come back and it’s no longer working.
When the video component is inserted inside a tabs container, it doesn’t work even at first.

I also experienced the same issue in my Apps. In some cases even a single video will play and then all of a sudden just stop as if the link is broken or something and i have to refresh the page, this happens especially when i minimize the page and allow the video to play in the background while i work on other things on my laptop. This used to work like a charm but lately it is not.
