YouTube Sign-in required in some conditions, no link to source to workaround #410

From my work VPN, I'm unable to watch embedded YouTube videos without being presented with the "Sign-in to confirm you are not a bot" error.

Over at Real Youtube, my account is currently signed in and I am able to watch videos, but there isn't an easy way to get there from the video index.

I propose adding a link to the hosted source material to allow users to give a workaround to resolve this type of issue. It also adds transparency with video hosting attribution.

I agree this is something I wanted to add to as some people might prefer to watch and save on YouTube in their watch later list by example.

Happy to take a PR for that
