    Description

      As reported in the Community forums https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=313259#p1254284 it appears the Youtube repository is no longer available. Video already added seem to still work (at least on the site I tried) but it is not possible to add new ones -it all points to https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6098135?p=yt_devicesupport&hl=en&rd=1
