 * Ok I hope someone can help me! I’m confused about the proper way to do this…
 * On a SCHEDULED post containing a YouTube post what is the proper way to embed
   the YouTube video? Some are saying use the IFrame code that you can right click
   on the video and grab (even before the video itself is live on your channel) 
   or use the embed tags.
 * **\*\*one note! I cannot use the simple URL because these will all be scheduled
   posts which will follow a closely scheduled YouTube video release…**
 * Both ways above work but someone told me that they are based on the Google API
   and that the Google API changes every 4 years…what happens to your videos then?
 * Confusing…
 * THANKS FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE!!!

 * If you’ve already uploaded the video to YouTube, then the IFrame code that you
   can just grab on the video page should work fine.
 * As for the API, you should be fine.

 * THANK YOU!!
 * Yes, the Iframe code seems to be the simplest way; I know Codex suggests for 
   you to just use the URL but you can’t do that when BOTH the YouTube video is 
   scheduled to go in a SCHEDULED post…
 * Ok **Jacob** so if down the road a little I have a bunch of videos on a site 
   and the Google API changes those videos will still be ‘ok’ ??
