Youtube video embed not working on mobile

Hi Shopify community!

I'm at a bit of a loss on this one. There is a video embedded from youtube on an info page, it works on the desktop but not mobile. I've tried a couple of browsers on my iPhone and neither work. This theme is a customized purchased template, so I can't get support from Shopify and the original theme developers also said it was customized too much to offer support. I'm really hoping for some ideas on how this might be fixed.

Cheers!

Thanks for the tip  @Vikas_Chovatiya I tried it on Shopify's "Debut" theme (https://joeveo.com) and it didn't work there.

Hi, I am having the same issue. I am using Shopify District Theme and the embedded youtube link on the homepage does not load in Safari. It works fine in chrome on a mac. I tested it on my iphone and it would't work in safari. I then tested it in Safari on my mac and the youtube video did not play there as well. Can you please advise?
