Hey everyone,

I just wanted to make a post to say that the steam profile / video add youtube videos to your profile option is broken. There seems to only be one video available, and it is called something like videos not supported on this device.

I know YouTube has recently changed their stuff as of the end of April, and a lot of their old apps and things won't work. My Sony TV has a built in YouTube App but as of May 1st I could not access it any longer, and it has a similar message.

Anyone know if this will be coming back? I assume that currently, there is no way to add videos to the community and tag them to videos as there was previously.

I'm having the same problem, I can't upload any of my newer Youtube videos. It seems like Youtube's recent changes broke something on Valve's end that needs fixing..

I've seen that warning video for about a month in the video tagging queue, I thought they would have had everything figured out by now. Unfortunately not I guess.

A month? Wow a bad time for me to start uploading my videos here.

Hasn't been down for a month, but that youtube warning video has been in the video queue from where you choose videos.

Hopfully Valve will fix it soon

Valve please update the steam-client

Keep trying and refreshing and trying, it will work. I think it is just slow right now because of the big steam sale. I added one yesterday but it took 12 tries. The day before, I added one with only 3 tries.
