  I’m unable to embed youtube videos in posts.

  Typically, I go:

  Upload/Insert Video
  From URL tab
  Click ” Audio, Video, or Other File”
  Then I copy YouTube URL

  And, normally this then embeds the video on my post. But, now, when going through all of these steps, I just see the link on the page, not the actual video.

  Try using the shortcode instead of going through the insert media, and put the shortcode into the HTML tab in the editor, not the Visual. It always works for me doing it that way.
