Posting YouTube Link in Forum No Longer Shows Thumbnail

[hypercybermegatron]

Previously I've never had trouble posting a YouTube link in forums and having it show as a video thumbnail.

But now for some reason it doesn't work. Only a plain old link is shown, no thumbnail.

Anyone know why this is the case?

Example below:

YouTube™ Video: PC Longplay [1012] Age of Empires (Part 1 of 5) Ascent of Egypt Campaign

I've had the same issue for quite a few days now and was going to make a thread about it. We've had a couple of woeful client updates so I'm not sure if that's disabled a setting or if something is up in general with the video display. Funnily enough they show correctly in a browser so it has to be a client problem.

Interesting. I posted a Tweet earlier and could have sworn those show up as a too, but it's just a link. Will see if I have same issue with MacOs client.

The example in OPs post shows up as the standard thumbnail in both the client and browser for me. I did get another update this morning, so perhaps they fixed it?

Been like it for days.

On my phone now. No thumbnails showing here either. When I get home I'll check if PC and MacOS clients need updates and test. Thanks guys.

Yep, that's what I'm seeing to. Just confirmed that my client on W10 is up to date.

Hmm, looks all good there.

I wonder if this bug depends on region, and some regions haven't had the patch which fixes this bug?

I just checked Firefox and the YouTube thumbnail for the post is showing as normal.

[hypercybermegatron]

Ok did further testing, all devices up to date.

Browsers:

-W10: FF, Chrome, Edge, Opera,
-MacOS: FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari,
-Android: FF, Chrome, Duckduckgo, Opera

YT Thumbnail shows up.

Steam Client:
-W10
-Macos
-Android

No YT Thumbnail.

Also checked Twitter thumbnail, that doesn't work in any browser or Steam Client at all. Am I imagining things, or did Steam Client show Twitter thumbnails in Steam forum posts once upon a time?

Yeah. Some people see it some don't. My guess is there' s bug and some folks have already got the patch to fix it depending on region.

UPDATE

This is still an issue.
