Only use full link, and the embed type of a full link;

– there are two kinds of full links, watch and embed.

– your full link above is a watch url. (you can see a “watch” word in the url)
```
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uxrr2GfVq4
```
– visit your url on YouTube,

– find “Share” tab below the video,

– click the “Embed” inside tab,

– you will find the embed code of your video in the box,

– like this: (you can see an “embed” word in the url)
```
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1Uxrr2GfVq4?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
```
– only copy the embed url from the embed code and use it in your shortcode.

– this is the embed url:

//www.youtube.com/embed/1Uxrr2GfVq4?rel=0

– in the shortcode:
```
[lightbox_video title="Bicep Stretch" url="//www.youtube.com/embed/1Uxrr2GfVq4?rel=0"]
```

Use inline-lightbox for the pages. Please check out the Inline Lightbox chapter in the theme’s documentation.

Documentation > Shortcodes > Inline Lightbox.
