Notes will not keep youtube code

I have inserted embed youtube code into the notes field but it isn't being saved.

How can this be fixed

    Are you trying to use the YouTube embed code? If you are, you need to use the embed shortcode instead. Here’s an example:

    [embed width="123" height="456"]PUT YOUTUBE URL HERE[/embed]

      The URLs your’re trying to use are incorrect. You need to use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs-8-cWFbOU

      Please keep in mind the embed shortcode is a WordPress shortcode, not Connections. You’ll have to refer to the WordPress documentation for this shortcode.
