How to add a linked image to a video in GitHub README?

I've been trying to embed a screen cast of my Java project in the GutHub README of the project's repository. The solution I came across was to use a Linked image but the link I created doesn't show the thumbnail or link to the video.

I've followed the solution in the Stackoverflow question to the letter, but can't see where the mistake is. I first got the thumbnail and video link which I checked individually, both are valid.

Does anyone know where I've gone wrong with adding this linked image? The below screenshot shows how its showing on GitHub:

This is the link I created:
