Hi there,
To fix this you need to embed the videos using the YouTube shortcode. Here are the instructions:

Because you have a lot of videos embedded, in order to make the whole process quicker you can switch to the HTML editor and edit the video links directly. Here’s how to switch to the HTML editor:
To give you an example. You need to change the YouTube link from this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUuEuW_LCrcto this:

Hi. I followed the instructions you gave me but its still confusing. Is it possible I can make my site public briefly for you to take a look then switch back to private

@koolbeanz247 no need to change your site’s Privacy settings. WordPressdotcom Staff/Happiness Engineers can see all sites on WordPressdotcom regardless of privacy settings.
@fstat – is there a particular reason in this instance why the oembed method of embedding YouTube doesn’t work? As long as the link is on its own line and is not actually a hyperlink, shouldn’t it work? https://en.support.wordpress.com/troubleshooting-embed-links-and-shortcodes/

Hi there,
There seems to be something wrong with the HTML code on that specific page preventing the YouTube videos to embed properly.
I’m looking into it and I’ll let you know as soon as I have found a solution.

Shouldn’t take long. But I want to be meticulous and avoid “breaking” anything on your site.
I’ll keep you posted :)

Hi there,
I’m sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I had to run a thorough test on your site.
The issue with the YouTube videos not embedding is due to the fact that you have a lot of links (site links and YouTube links) into that page.
You can resolve this by using the YouTube shortcode I previously suggested. This will ensure that all your YouTube videos will be properly embedded.
Here are the steps on how to do it:
1. Open the page in the editor
2. Switch to the HTML tab (top-right)
3. Enclose the youtube links in the shortcode
4. Click the Update button to save the changesHere’s a video of all the steps:
If this doesn’t work or you have more questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

Ok. But is there a way to do all the videos at once because thers alot of videos and doing them individually will take longer

Hi there,
There’s no way to bulk change all the YouTube links to a shortcode. You have to do it manually. I would also suggest removing some videos or break that page into more pages as the great number of videos on it makes it very slow to load.
