Comment (by jfaak):

 WordPress may have changed how captions work in Gutenberg. To add one,
 insert a YouTube block for your video. Below it, add a Paragraph block for
 the caption. Style it with custom CSS by adding a class like video-
 caption. Customize the styling in your theme’s CSS file to make it look
 like traditional captions.
