Introduction
When sharing YouTube videos on the Allbound platform you might encounter a scenario where you see a notification that "An error occurred. Please try again later." when attempting to view the video. An error with the video being unable to playback is usually caused by a video being marked as private or the wrong URL was shared when content was saved on Allbound.

If you see a playback error please ensure the video's privacy is saved as Public or Unlisted.
Use The Correct Share Path
