  What is the youtube URL?
  Have you tried using the youtube shortcode?
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/#embedding-with-a-shortcode
  It works for me every time.

  I plainly see the youtube in this post using Firefox 19.

  If you can’t see it then you have a browser issue.

  In the vent you cannot see the video in the latest post which I linked to above then please try some troubleshooting.

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache:

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.
