ParticipantI found the answer. Maybe you guys nknow this already:
You can’t. Many years ago YouTube had a Flash-based API which allowed direct playback of an embedded video inside a parent SWF file (the only way to do it in a PDF), but it also allowed people to bypass the advertising, so they closed it down. The current API only supports HTML embedding for web pages.
The ’embed’ URL for sites like YouTube and Vimeo is a link to their web page, not to the video file itself (legally you cannot link directly to the video stream so we’re not going to explain how it might be done). Acrobat’s video player will only accept a URL that points to the video file or to an RTMP stream connector, which is why the URL must end in a valid extension such as “.mp4”
The only options are:
Embed the entire video file into the PDF – assuming you have a copy and have the rights to publish it. Easiest to do but the file size may be a problem.
Host the video file on your own website and put the HTTP link into the annotation dialog (simple but anyone can download a copy, so it’s not secure).
Stream the file using Adobe Media Server (secure but very expensive).September 21, 2016 at 2:55 am in reply to: How to place video with HTTPS link? interactive pdf #88544Next Level Producties
ParticipantThe link is a video file on Youtube. Indesign comes back with: “The url must reference a file that is compliant with Flash Player”
But the movie is MP4 you should be possible to link!What am I doing wrong?

ParticipantHi David, thanks for your reply.
After changing the format in Excel it did show up the right way now in Indesign. I will google for (export)options on Excel.
Thanks so far David.

ParticipantThe export via .txt gives me a better result in data merge section. That is: beneath oneanother.
If I use CSV I get one complete line like: <<name;address;code;place;state;mail;phone>>
Instead of the separated excel colomns that I get via .txtSecond, also my date format (used text variables) for current date gives me the english time, although my pc system date and time is dutch, I prefer my Indesign to be in English..
But now I end up with 12 August 2015 instead of the Dutch 12 Augustus 2015.Mmmm….what do I do wrong? Or should I stick to Word, which gives me less options but also less hassle?
