Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!
The three embedded shorts have an `alignleft` class, which sets a minimum
width of 280 pixels. The class likely was added when there was an
alignment control in the block toolbar. Delete that from each YouTube
Embed block, in the Additional CSS Class(es) field under Advanced.
You might also want to move the embeds into Column blocks that are allowed
to stack. Then narrower screens would not try to shrink the videos to less
than [https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/required-minimum-
functionality?hl=en#embedded-youtube-player-size 200 pixels wide].
> I'm not sure if they are using instructions for an outdated version of
WordPress interface, or if there is a difference in the interface in
different countries.
Your site uses //WordPress.com//, which has a somewhat different interface
than WordPress.org. That might be part of the confusion.
> is there an issue with the Twenty Nineteen theme which is uniquely
causing a problem here?
The site uses the Saison theme. The PR added CSS for Twenty Nineteen, but
I did not find a problem with embedded video shorts in that theme.
I'll close the ticket because this is not a bug with WordPress core.
