Interesting. Now all three links work; mine and yours. I was on my phone then and didn’t want to write a dissertation on YouTube links.

I’ll quote one here that I wrote for somebody else having difficulties a couple days ago:

> `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_V0t0KmiQ` or equivalently `https://www.youtu.be/EK_V0t0KmiQ`

> So all I did was trim out everything except the video ID and the start time you included. Often that other mumbo jumbo is only valid in the context of your login. So it’ll look fine to you, but anybody else gets an unavailable message and clicking through just drops them at the YouTube homepage with no idea what content they’re supposed to be seeing.
