Support for SermonSpeaker 5.x is in bugfix mode only, the same as it is for Joomla 3.10.
I will not add any new features to this releases.
Please upgrade to SermonSpeaker 6.x and Joomla 4.x, which is better anyway.

How do I add YouTube videos? With all the craziness over COVID-19, churches are doign online broadcasts. One of my churches wants to add to their YT channel, but I don't see how to add each video to SS. I see links for Vimeo and Amazon S3, but no YT.

You can just put the Youtube URL (eg www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcdefgh ) into the "Videofile" field in the sermon form.
To play it you need a player which supports Youtube, that's mainly "YW Player" or "Mediaelement".
If you set up the Google Picker, you can use that to select the video you want.

Thanks for the quick reply Thomas.

OK, so I added the sermon, but, on the frontend, I see...

Warning
This filename is not safe to use in an URL: youtu.be/dGZznvp7Pjo

You mention YW Player - is that a typo? Should it be JW Player? I have JW Player 6 set as the default player.

Aje, should be JW Player.

You can ignore the filename warning. I'm quite sure the Youtube links work in an URL :)

OK thanks. However.... :-)

Now I have an issue with Latest Sermon module - I get this warning now, with no link, play button, etc.

Error loading player:
No playable sources found

When I go to the main page of the component (front end) the player "module" above the list is empty.

That message means that for whatever reason the player in that module doesn't find a file it can play.
It may be that the module is set to play only audio files, but the sermon has only a video file.
If you can provide the URL of your site, I could have a look and maybe tell you more.
