I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve inserted a YouTube video. I put the URL in Resources and it came up with the name of video (an MP4) but don’t see any UYouTube controls. When IO select controls in the inspector, nom controls are showing. When I indicate not to start immediately, it’s starts immediately.

Can you share your project [via Elements Cloud](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-cloud/account-sign-up) and we can take a look to see what’s going on?

I’m sure we’ll have you back up and running in no time!

Dumb question but how do I send the file. I tried moving the [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) file into the “Document” space, but it wouldn’t go.

Don’t worry, there’s no such thing as a dumb question 😊

Here’s a quick video that explains how [Elements](https://elementsapp.io/) Cloud works:

And here’s [the link to learn more](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-cloud/account-sign-up) about signing up for an account.

@siamon, okay, I see the problem!

It looks like you added the YouTube URL as a remote resource. This is not the correct way to do it. Instead, you need to drag the YouTube URL into the application from your browser. Here’s a quick video showing you how to do it.

Let me know how you get on!

Thanks! It works great. It would have taken me a long time to figure it out.
