Embedding YouTube Video in Trigger.io for iOS


Our html app occasionally embeds YouTube videos in the UI. We use a simple iframe to embed them.

When we put the app on our phones (iOS / iOS Simulator) the video opens in mobile Safari.

What's the right way to get the embedded YouTube videos to play within the app, and not launch Safari?


Solution

  • Since YouTube redirects you to its https:// protocol site, you need to whitelist https://youtube.com -- just whitelisting http://youtube.com is not enough.
