I just restored the settings on my Chromebook and now embedded YouTube videos on DU play fine on my Chromebook.

At first, I thought it was a DU problem, but I was able to play embedded DU videos on other PCs and Chromebooks. I was on another site and noticed I also couldn't play embedded YouTube videos on that site with this Chromebook.

That's when I finally figured out restore settings was the way to go. And it worked!
