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.
