I was just sharing a link for the Asimov-based Foundation series that's going to be on Apple Plus (which looks like it could be amazing!):

https : // www.youtube .com/watch?v=xgbPSA94Rqg (ignore the spaces, I had to add them so you could see the link).

In this case, you do need something that comes after the first "?". You need the "v=whatever" part too, all the way up to the first ampersand "&" that follows, or else Youtube won't know which particular video to play.
