I'm also experiencing this same issue this morning. There's another issue thread about this, but it's closed:

Seems like hosting the tool is the next best option to use it.

Where would I find a tutorial on how to host it? I'm not super tech savvy. Thanks!

the issue is now fixed, affected only some of our instances, can you try again to see if it works now?
