    I have a problem on my site, where i can not embed youtube video by directly copy-paste youtube URL into guttenberg, even though the video is allowed to be embedded.

    But when i use HTML code, and using:

    https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEOID

    instead of share URL, its working.

    See here:

    I dont know where the problem lies, the previous post working fine, but the moment i click “Save“, the video wont get embedded anymore.

    But strangely, it is working using HTML code below.

    <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} -->
<p class="has-text-align-center"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEOID" width="640" height="320" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

    I posted this in case there is a bug on WP, so you can check it out.

    Hi @geniuxcode,

    You are embedding a YouTube link that isn’t available anymore. See image: https://share.zight.com/9Zu46opD.

    In order to display the YouTube video on your page, follow these steps below:

    • Please use a working YouTube video link.
    • Copy and paste the YouTube link in a browser to check if the link is working correctly.
    • Once the link is working, embed it on the page.

    Please note that after you have done this, make sure to:

    • Clear your website’s cache.
    • Clear your browser’s cache. Hold down Ctrl (Control) + Shift + R to hard-reload your browser.

    Please try the recommended solutions and let me know how it goes.
