WP video embed feature appears to favor Youtube, blocks Rumble links
-
Hi!
I used to be able to embed videos from Rumble by just pasting the (non-embed) URL in the WP Classic Editor. Recently, it’s proving nearly impossible to link to my videos from my WP-hosted blog when they’re hosted on Rumble. However, when I upload the exact same video hosted at Youtube, the WP embed feature works immediately and flawlessly. But I prefer Rumble and don’t want to have to use Youtube.
What’s going on? As you can see in the screen shot, the YT link immediately embeds but the Rumble one doesn’t. This is very frustrating, and it’s a recent development. What changed, WP?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks. I tried clicking the Contact Us link, but it took me to a page that only permits me to post my question to the forum again. What’s even odder is that the Rumble videos sometimes embed just fine.

@1969roamer46 I’m sorry for the volunteer’s confusion. They don’t have the same level of access as the staff members to your account and plan status. If you have a free WordPress.com site and need assistance, the support forums are where you need to seek help.
Regarding the embed issue, could you provide a specific post where the embed is displaying as a link? Once we have that information, we’ll be able to examine the problem more closely and offer better advice.
Thank you!
