I have a live video stream I want to put on a page. It is in an an html and when I preview before publishing, it works perfectly, I can see the live streaming video. However, when I publish the page, no luck, just a black screen. Any ideas?

There is no difference between previewing and publishing. If something works in preview but not when you publish it, it usually means you are missing some files on the server. Are you sure you uploaded all the files?

What is the url to your site? This way we can try and see what is wrong.

I reloaded just in case, but the the dimensions of the video are loading, just no video. Re-running the preview still works fine. I am wondering if there is some plugin I need to have in cPanel?
The code is: <iframe src="
https://vauth.command.verkada.com/embed ... e5d9623f8/" frameborder="0" width="400" height="300"></iframe>
or I have a link that works:

You have added invalid code to the page, this breaks the structure of the HTML.

There's a possibility that the stream cannot be used in a iframe for security reasons. Please check with the stream provider that it is possible to use within a iframe. Also when viewing the source of the page and clicking on the link directly it shows as you can see.

I also tried to copy the link so to paste into a browser but it contained invalid characters and multiple references of https each of these was to a different quality of the stream i.e. SD, HD and High_res with multiple https the browser will get confused and not know what to display. As mentioned please check with the stream provider for how to use and insert correctly.
