Instagram and YouTube embeds not working
-
Hello! I am trying to embed a YouTube video I made (it’s public and unrestricted) but I keep getting the error message ‘Sorry we could not embed that content’. The same thing happens with Instagram URLs. The YouTube URL I’m trying to embed is: https://youtu.be/WfO00u2YPRk
Any help is greatly appreciated!Laina

Here is the standard way to embed youtube videos to your WordPress.com blog.

Please try this method, this should work perfectly.

Neither of those are working for me. I get the error message every time. I am able to embed from my WordPress editor on my phone, but not on my laptop.

Hi there @lainahancock, is jalopychronicals.wordpress.com the site you need help with or a different site?

Just to note, if you’re using Gutenberg on WordPress.com, it is a known issue that the editor will display that error. The embed will appear fine in the post itself: https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/28314
But please post your URL as shown above, as it seems you may not be using Gutenberg WordPress.com.
