How do I do this? Can I reference it as we did in Classic? What is the methodology?
You can add YouTube or Vimeo videos by dragging and dropping the URL from your web browser to the Resources area in Elements. A playlist URL can also be dropped into the resources area.
YouTube uses two alternative domains for accessing videos but only the first of these seems to work when creating the Resource link:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnnnnnnnnn (this works)
or
youtu.be/nnnnnnnnnn (this doesn’t)
Where nnnnnnnnnn is the YT video ref. no.
I don’t know why the .be version doesn’t work. Maybe DanC can shed some light?
That sounds like a bug to me; thanks for the report. I’m guessing we’re just not looking at or handling the youtu.be domain. For now, just use the full YouTube URL.
I’ll get this added into our bug tracker for fixing.
Thanks Dan.

Thanks Dan. I had a quick look at the html and JS of a published page that had both a video link using youtube.com and a link using youtu.be and it definitely supports your idea of what’s happening (or rather not happening)

Thanks, this is now on the list to be fixed 
Hi Dan, that doesn’t work for me. It shows the green plus icon. But it drops somewhere without happening anything. Regards Ferry
Hi Ferry,
I suspect you are trying to put the URL on the page itself or in the settings for the video. What you need to do is place the URL in the Resources Folder of Elements first and having done that then place this Elements Resource in the Video Settings.
Hope that answers your problem.
Cheers
Hi Paul, ahh okay. Now it works fine. Thanks a lot.
