Comment (by aarti1318):
It’s unlikely to be an issue with WordPress itself. In most cases, the
problem occurs due to one of the following reasons:
- The pasted link is a standard watch URL or contains extra parameters
that prevent proper embedding.
- The video owner has disabled embedding in their YouTube settings.
- YouTube may be sending security headers that block the video from being
displayed in an iframe.
- A plugin or theme conflict could be interfering with oEmbed
functionality.
You may want to double-check the video URL format, test with different
videos, and temporarily disable other plugins or switch to a default theme
to rule out conflicts.
