  Hi there,

  The embed code for Youtube Subscribe buttons contains JavaScript, which isn’t allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons:

  https://wordpress.com/en/support/code/

  Embed code like that can only be used on a Pro Plan site that has plugins installed. You won’t be able to use it on a free site.

  Instead I suggest you just link to your Youtube channel instead. Then people can subscribe there directly.
