Youtube video does not open in IE11 using JW Player 6 Plugin version 2.1.14

I'm having a problem opening a Youtube video in IE11, which started the beginning of April. It works fine on Chrome, Firefox, iPhones, etc. - but not on IE11! An error message appears saying, "This content cannot be displayed in a frame." Here is the way the code is embedded on that page of our Wordpress website:

<a title="BACK" href="/">← Back</a>
<div style="text-align: left;"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6Ot0aquOmro?feature=player_embedded&quot;" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
May 30 (Bloomberg) -- Neil Abrams, founder at Abrams Consulting Group, discusses the strategies of rental car companies as consolidation has left three major players in the field. He speaks on Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg Surveillance"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div>

Not being proficient in the web design field, I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why I'm having trouble opening the video on IE11.

Thanks so much!

That page code doesn't appear to making any use of JW Player. It's just a YouTube video in an iframe.

Thanks - guess that's why I'm getting the error message regarding can't be played in an iframe. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue so that is works on IE11? Your advice is very much appreciated!

Change the iframe code to this:

<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6Ot0aquOmro" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Sorry - still get the same error message after changing to your suggested coding. Any other suggestions? I'm totally confused as to why this suddenly stopped working in IE11! So frustrating - thanks again!

YouTube changed their v2 api recently and deprecated some other functionality. You may have more success using Flash mode.

Make sure Flash is installed in your copy of IE11. Using my coding, I don't get that error in IE11.
