When selecting the YouTube type, make sure to input the correct YouTubeID in the Resource Video URL field. The YouTubeID is the unique identifier for a YouTube video and can be found in the video's URL. For example, in the URL "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtG6IGN2MDE", the YouTubeID is "KtG6IGN2MDE". If the YouTubeID is not entered correctly, the video resource may not display properly on the website.
