YouTube videos are not working when Elementor and Slider Revolution is installed
The root cause of the problem is a YouTube API conflict.
Explanation
Revolution slider always uses the https://www.youtube-nocookie.com
domain to display their videos, which means we have to use the https://www.youtube-nocookie.com
domain as well, regardless of the YouTube And Vimeo Privacy Enhanced Mode option. (So even if you disabled the option, it will act as enabled to be able to stay compatible with Revolution Slider.) Otherwise our videos would not work, as YouTube does not allow using both https://www.youtube-nocookie.com
and https://youtube.com/
on the same page to embed videos.
At Slider Revolution you can't change the YouTube privacy mode. At Smart Slider, it can be done at the Global Settings → General → YouTube And Vimeo Privacy Enhanced Mode option, which will make all videos created by Smart Slider use one URL. However, at Elementor you can change the Privacy mode
setting of the video at every single video widget. As a result, if you don't enable the Privacy mode
option when Slider Revolution is enabled, or when you turn on the YouTube And Vimeo Privacy Enhanced Mode
option of Smart Slider, one of the videos will not start
Solution
Make sure you turn on the Privacy mode
at your Elementor video widgets if Slider Revolution is installed on your site, or if you enabled the YouTube And Vimeo Privacy Enhanced Mode
at Smart Slider.
