Code Review
This pull request adds a fallback link below the embedded YouTube video iframe in the JourneyModal component to allow users to watch the video directly on YouTube if they encounter issues, and updates the iframe with a strict referrer policy. The review feedback recommends extracting the hardcoded YouTube video ID into a constant to prevent duplication and exposing the fallback link text as a configurable prop to support internationalization and localization.

Where is the link to your other PR and the feedback already received?
@leecalcote I've updated the PR description with the open PR in meshery regarding this issue. And I actually closed the other PR ( the one which I was working on earlier ) because it had many commits now cause I was working on it for 2 weeks, and to start fresh from synced masters, I created new branches and PRs . Should I link the closed PR as well, in case someone wants to see the earlier reviews? |

This widget shouldn't be included in Sistent in the first place. |
@leecalcote Agreed, sistent should only have reusable componenets. I was only making these changes here to fix the YouTube Error 153 on strict browsers bug , where the code currently lives. Along with this Getting started widget, there are several other specific widgets in Sistent right now (e.g., RecentDesignWidget, WorkspaceActivityWidget, TeamSearchField etc.). Should we now migrate the GettingStartedWidget (and potentially the other Dashboard widgets) directly into the meshery repository? Let me know how to proceed. |

@PARTH-TUSSLE The description currently only mentions that Error 153 occurs on localhost. However, the same error is also occurring on playground.meshery.io. It would be good to update the description to reflect that the issue is reproducible on the playground website as well. |

Thank you @PARTH-TUSSLE, for working on this.
I have tested this locally, and there is an improvement. However, on my end, the page currently loads like this:
I believe this is caused by the current YouTube src URL. When I paste that URL directly into a browser, I get the same error message shown in the screenshot above.
The current YouTube URL redirects the user to the actual video. I would suggest updating the src (YouTube URL) as well.

Parse the v parameter regardless of query-parameter order.
When v is not the first query parameter, formatYouTubeEmbedUrl returns the watch-page URL unchanged. The iframe then receives a watch-page URL instead of a YouTube embed URL, so this video cannot render in the modal iframe. Read the URL's v parameter before constructing the embed URL.

Thanks for pointing that out @Katotodan! I've updated the src to YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed URL (https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Do7htKrRzDA) and stripped the redirect/tracking parameter (?si=...), which resolves Error 153. Could you please take another look when you get a chance? |

Hello @PARTH-TUSSLE, thank you for working on this.
I have been looking into this more deeply and trying to understand why the video still fails here while it works in Cloud Meshery.
I also tried copying the iframe and embedding it in a standalone HTML page, but it still failed. This makes me think there may be some configuration or restriction on YouTube's side that is affecting the direct iframe approach, possibly related to the way the player is initialized or to security policies.
Interestingly, some websites do not embed the video directly with an iframe anymore. Instead, there use an external library, react-player, which also handles YouTube videos.
After looking into this further, I think we could take advantage of the same library since it is already being used successfully in many websites.
I would suggest using react-player here as well.
@leecalcote, any thoughts?
