Problem with video embedding

I believe there’s some problem with youtube embedding system in wordpress. Apparently from nowhere the videos stop embedding and just become a clickable link to youtube. Example:

Why Bing Isn’t a Failure (& The Future of the Internet)

Hi there,

Someone has tagged this thread for staff even though it’s several days old, and the video in the post you linked to is working fine for me.

Do you still need help with this?

It was me, @kokkieh
Last night there were reports in the Spanish forum because the videos did not work. Not in mrunhappyperson’s blog either.

I wonder this was only with me. The funny thing was this issue happened in November 2nd for some minutes, and then returned to regular way.

But since last night (November 7th), all my videos have the same issue you related. For example: https://ertvm.wordpress.com/2018/11/07/ariana-grande-breathin-arianagrande/

I always include in this way:

YouTube link (purely, none brackets or anything else)
text above

I read the @neelgajjar suggestion, and also do an alternative way doing this:

YouTube link (purely, none brackets or anything else)
ENTER
text above

But for me this and other way will be, really, impossible to do in all my posts. Please WordPress, solve this issue: on free platform I always did in that way and I never had any problem since 2016 (and early, between 2012-2016, on own domain)

I said about the alternative way, and this is an example when the YouTube player is fully funcional: https://ertvm.wordpress.com/2018/11/06/robbie-rivera-ltric-ivan-gough-feat-jordan-kaahn-on-my-way-audiorobbierivera/

I did this:

YouTube link (purely, none brackets or anything else)
ENTER
text above

But like I said, this way or any other will be impossible to apply on published articles, due the hard work I really should have to do. Please fix this issue, because like we said WordPress in last years always embed YouTube videos with no problems – by the way, I chose WordPress because the easy way to embed YouTube.

@galois indeed: same here, on same day: November 7th. Since yesterday I don’t know what WordPress did to happen this.

Okay, thanks for the extra info, @ertvmusic. Can you please give me a link to a post where you haven’t fixed this yet?

We’ve had some similar reports to this for embeds from other services, and it looks like it might be a WordPress Core issue, as I’ve been able to replicate it on a self-hosted site as well, but we’re looking into it and if it’s something we can fix on our end.

Thanks for the link to the es thread, @galois.

I don’t know if it was some kind of maintenance, but everything’s fine now. If the errors like I’ve just related back, I’ll report here.
