YouTube link in video component being blocked from fullscreen or going to YouTube

Hi all, I have a video component that has a YouTube link inside of it. I remember this working before where you could open the video in YouTube by just clinking the embedded link, the same for the fullscreen, but now I seem to get errors in my console log regarding these actions being blocked. I thought it was my browser, so I explicitly set the allow popups option, but still no luck.

The video still works and some of the controls work, just not the full screen option or the link to YouTube

no matter what direction I use in the Retool editor, this all works, its only when I deploy to our dev environment that it starts getting the console errors below.

Any ideas?

Hey @Kevin_Eslick

You just need to click on Interaction .


The link shown in your error message is the same link I passed into the iframe. Its showing me option of full screen.

Hey Widle, I need to update my description but the crux of my issue is that no matter what direction I use in the Retool editor, this all works, its only when I deploy to our dev environment that it starts getting the console errors above.

What does deploying to your dev environment look like in this particular case? Are you embedding the Retool app in another iframe?
