Pressing the "share" button give you a captcha instead of the video thumbnail as preview...

I am having the same problem. Some reports indicate that this bug can be resolved by logging out, and clearing cookies/authenticated sessions, but that has not worked for me.

Do I have an answer? Before you click on the share button, look around. You should see an option button that lets you choose a thjmbnail picture. (One of these thumbnails is a captcha.) |

the problem is because of the new version of facebook.... so we need to wait until Facebook inc fix the problem =/ |

The problem is that Facebook is basically some stupid kid's first PHP project and they like to edit live production code without any form of regression testing whatsoever. |

I hope they fix it fast, but to me it looks a mix problem between Youtube and Facebook
where is this captcha coming from anyway, as i do not see it on the video page.
so is google trying to stop the sharing? |

Justin George Dowling... I actually looked around and it said choose thumbnail, 1/1. No other choice, just the captcha thing. |

Same problem here... My assumption is that google is making an attempt to limit the video sharing or facebook is trying to close the circuit so they can build their own video library which either way is ridiculous. |

I highly doubt google wants to prohibit sharing of their own videos. If this issue is deliberate, it's probably on facebook's end. Hopefully it's just a glitch though. |

hi, having the same problem... looked in the youtube help forum i found this useful tip:
http://help.youtube.com/group/youtube-issues/msg/89a3f3e989ab63c1
"i had the same issue posting from youtube (no embedded video, just a link, sometimes a human-verification thing). I manually added the link from facebook (instead of the share button from youtube), and then added a ; after the random letters. aka link to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTumyomssos; instead of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTumyomssos and it seemed fix the problem. let me know if it works for you? I'd wanna see if it's a universal fix... " |
