“This video is unavailable” - html with iframe for WKWebView embedding

I need to embed Youtube video using iframe. According to a test project when I try using youtube_ios_player_helper with function 

-(BOOL)loadWithVideoId:(nonnull NSString *)videoId playerVars: (nullable NSDictionary *)playerVars

let vars = ["origin": "http://www.youtube.com"]
playerView.load(withVideoId: "gqbB8-sBuvg", playerVars: vars)

the video is working. If I don't use additional parameters, I see: "This video is unavailable". But for iframe, I only see "This video is unavailable". I'm using the following html:

videoWebView.loadHTMLString("<iframe width=\"\(videoWebView.frame.width)\" height=\"\(videoWebView.frame.height)\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/gqbB8-sBuvg?enablejsapi=1&origin=\"http://www.youtube.com\"\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen> </iframe>", baseURL: nil)

How to fix the iframe embedding?

To fix the problem with iframe embedding you don't need to use the YouTube Helper Library. The problem was with baseURL. Instead of receiving nil, there needs to be a link or a path for resources.

For example,

videoWebView.loadHTMLString("<iframe>...</iframe>", baseURL: URL(string: "http://www.youtube.com")!)
