I like the new Author Spotlight store but am having problems uploading or embedding YouTube videos. When I click on my book trailer video on YouTube and click on 'embed,' I see this code:
"<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yzAyTIWCKIA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>" (I've added the quotation marks.)
When I use that code in AuthorSpotlight, I get the following error message:
The embed code you submitted is not supported. We currently support embed code from YouTube only
Any suggestions? Thanks.

paullima,
Make sure you select the "Use old embed code" option.
Try this code:
<object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yzAyTIWCKIA?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yzAyTIWCKIA?version=3& ;hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="349" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Too bad we only get to post one video. I have ten books and have video trailers for five of them. Guess I'll have to make one trailer that covers more than one book!

Yeah, I know it was there and it took me awhile to find it!

I'm hoping they'll add that ability too!
