Serving https video on http pages

My website has some embedded Youtube videos where the embed URL uses http and the webpage is also served through http. Some of my users (i.e. using Google Chrome on Windows) have told me that the video isn't playing. However, after changing the embedded URL to serve through https, it seems to play fine (at least on Chrome). Before I change all of the embedded urls to https, my question is whether there's ever an issue serving an embedded video through https if the webpage that it's embedded in is served through http (I know that there can be "mixed content" issues if an embedded video is http while the webpage is served through https).

The code I am using:

<iframe align="middle" frameborder="1" height="500" scrolling="yes" src="youtube.com/embed/video_id"; width="800"></iframe>

Thanks!

The issue would be the same as with any HTTPS resource - if the certificate can't be validated for whatever reason, the embedded resource won't be shown or the user will get a warning (depending on the browser implementation).
