I am unable to play any youtube video on my XT1144 with 8.142 firmware. I am using BA with HTML5 ...
The link plays fine in computers but not on the BrightSign, not even in Preview mode.
Here is the link https://youtu.be/aGk69SZIn30
This is what I put as the URL for the HTML5
https://www.youtube.com/embed/aGk69SZIn30?playlist=aGk69SZIn30&autoplay=1&rel=0&controls=0&loop=1
Have you tried playing
https://www.youtube.com/embed/aGk69SZIn30?playlist=aGk69SZIn30&autoplay=1&rel=0&controls=0&loop=1
in a computer web browser?
Because it doesn't play in my browser, which likely means the video's owner has it set not to be embedded - or it only supported embedding on certain sites.
Just because you can play the video on the normal YouTube site does not guarantee it will play embedded on any site/computer, and even if it plays embedded, there are rare cases where the video compression is not compatible with all clients.

Brandon, the link that you suggested prompted with "Video Not Available". The bad thing is that we have videos that we recorded and uploaded and now, they won't play on the BrightSign with the same settings. Unless youtube has changed the way they streams/downloads/distributes their videos!?. More suggestion please. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
This seems to work …..for now. I think YouTube changed the way they "feed" their videos ….

It's the permissions/settings of the specific video that the video owner has set that's causing it not to play.
The video from your page example will also play as
https://www.youtube.com/embed/whfzCNnzZZc?playlist=whfzCNnzZZc&autoplay=1&rel=0&controls=0&loop=1
outside of an iframe.
However, the previous video you linked still will not play, even in the link format and page example you provided.

If you're the uploader of https://youtu.be/aGk69SZIn30 you should be able to change the settings in YouTube Studio to allow embedding.
