For most embeds, you should be able to visit the page with the video you are wanting to embed and copy the URL for that page. Go to the post or page where you want the video embedded and paste the URL in a block there. WordPress should automate the embed and show the video for you. If you are using the classic editor on your site then you can use the same process of pasting the URL into your editor to create the embed.
If you would like to add the video in a widget for your site, we would recommend adding a text widget to your site and pasting the video URL there. WordPress should use that URL and automatically generate the embed for you to appear in the widget area on your site.
To help make the video experience better there are a few plugins available to help improve the user experience, the first is Smash Balloon YouTube Feed found at the link below:

It has tools for automatically embedding your YouTube channel videos in a customizable gallery format. With the plugin installed and activated you would want to connect to your YouTube account in the settings for the plugin and add the Feeds for YouTube block in the post/page you want it to appear.
For improving the speed of your site, we would recommend installing and activating the Lazy Load for Videos plugin.

With the plugin installed and activated, it will now use a placeholder image to have your videos display until the user attempts to view the video to save load time on your pages.

What is wrong with WP lately? I can't embed Instagram posts, I can't embed twitter posts … nothing works. I know, content creators want to limit bloggers by doing this but please … can WP do anything about this ?
Thanks for this video. Question: I am working with Google Drive Videos, and i have embedded some .mp4's to test out on my WordPress site and looks that all work on pc in any browser but on the iphone if i try to play in any mobile browser like firefox, crome,etc video shows up and while clicking on the play button will not play! Any ideas why? Thanks!

What if the aspect ratio changes…when someone turns their phone from portrait to landscape and back again??? How do you determine what gets cut off? I don't want the algorithm to run away with it.
Thanks for posting this video. It worked fine the first time I watched your video. But now, WordPress is not allowing me to embed the video. It will only paste the video link. Has the rules changed recently? Or does WordPress no longer support embedding videos?
How can I get video quality option in embeded YouTube video at wordpress.
I am having trouble embedding a NON you tube video. How do I "If you are using the block editor you would want to use the video block for the service you're embedding from" I am trying to click
I wish that wp would support embed videos outside of major channels (Youtube, Vimeo) I have mp4 videos that simply do not work that are in my dropbox that do not work in wp…bummer
