YouTube have withdrawn from service the API which allows users to display YouTube videos through PebblePad. Whilst an alternative API is available from YouTube we received no notification of the removal of the API we used until the issue was reported by users.

Current YouTube linked videos work but new ones cannot be added. We will implement the new API as quickly as possible but this can only be deployed as part of a PebblePad patch. The next patch is due for release in early January.
