    Hi,

    Are you talking about en element created with the embed grid editor?

    The URL for that would only be accessible if you go trough the controls in the grid, and do some digging in the source.

    Not really - at best you will be able to find an HTML-string that would need parsing based on whatever provider you have used. It's based on a format called oembed, that is used to create html-snippets that will embed the requested resource. A youtube video like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ will end up something like 

    <iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    If I load url in the "src"-attribute on the iframe, I get the video, but when I click play, it fails - saying the video is not available.

    If you really want to do it, I suggest having a look at how the Bootstrap3.cshtml goes through the elements in the grid.

    Basically it's like this:

    foreach(dynamic row in grid)
  foreach(dynamic section in row)
    foreach(dynamic control in section)
      render(control)
