Greetings, I’m trying to build my [jazzvibe.com](http://jazzvibe.com) site using elements. It’s been a very slow process but I was making progress until trying to add an HTML youtube video section.
My Home page has three youtube videos. I tried adding a custom HTML section and embedding the videos. I could not get it to work and now Elements does not seem to recognize the HTML section I added. It recognizes the Gallery Section above and the section below but not the HTML. It’s just a big blank section I can’t do anything with. I can’t edit it, or delete it.
Any Ideas?
I’m using the current Elements on Sonoma, intel 2019 Mac
Also when I try to view my work using the browser button I get this

OK I was finally able to delete the section by clicking the HTML handle top left then delete. Now any idea how to get my videos to work? I read another post here on embedding video and tried the HTML with no luck.

OK now back to not being able to edit the HTML or delete the section. Something is not working right.

The video component does not appear to be for embedding a video link from youtube. It appears to be for uploading a video resource file from your computer. If I’m mistaken about that let me know.

Drag the link for the video URL from your browser to the resources area of the project.

Thanks for the suggestion and the link. I followed the steps to drag the youtube urls of the three videos I want on my home page to the resources section then dropped them into three separate video components. I now have three static photos from the video but the videos don’t play within Elements. I checked and they do play when embedded in Classic. So I’m not sure if it’s working or not. Again the Elements web Browser Preview does not work for me.
