I am trying to embed a YouTube video onto a pdf using LaTeX. Here is is the command that I use:

\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}
\usepackage{media9}
\begin{document}
    \begin{figure}
        \centering
        \includemedia[
        width=0.6\linewidth,height=0.3375\linewidth,
        activate=pageopen,
        flashvars={
            modestbranding=1 % no YT logo in control bar
            &autohide=1 % controlbar autohide
            &showinfo=0 % no title and other info before start
            &rel=0 % no related videos after end
            }
            ]{}{http://www.youtube.com/v/w3f-WyDqOUw}
    \end{figure}
\end{document}

Can you please help me?

but the video does not run. Does anyone have an insight?

See for example http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/174954/problem-in-including-a-youtube-video-using-media9 or http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14751/is-it-possible-to-embed-a-youtube-video-using-latex – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 29 '16 at 16:31
I did the exact thing from those posts but it still does not work – user111022 Jul 29 '16 at 16:35
And can you tell us which pdf viewer you have tried? media9 only works on a small subset, such as acrobat. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 29 '16 at 16:37
adobe acrobat reader DC – user111022 Jul 29 '16 at 16:41
I tried with acrobat reader XI and TeXlive2016 and your example works. So I am out of ideas. Maybe interesting for others, which version of Mactex do you use? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 29 '16 at 16:47
I don't see a java script but I see java control panel. It says java in the browser in enabled. – user111022 Jul 29 '16 at 17:05
I now see what you mean. Yes, it is enabled. – user111022 Jul 29 '16 at 17:07
Wow. AR DC asked me to allow access to 6 sites in order to view this video. Maybe they are disabled on your system (Preferences>Trust Manager). – Christoph Frings Jul 29 '16 at 17:09

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because not a latex problem, but of the pdf viewer – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 30 '16 at 11:31
