  Hey there @leecongerton,

  When you insert the media in your post are you pasting the provided link on its own separate line? Also, make sure the link is pasted as plain text. It does not need to be linked because WordPress.com recognizes that it the URL is a YouTube video and automatically links it itself.

  Just as a test, I tried inserting the YouTube video on my test site and it worked just fine. I pasted the link as plain text on its own line in the body of the post.
