Default Embedding videos

My YouTube linked videos used to embed the videos into posts but now they only put the link. But I see some people are still able to embed the video. Is there a new way to do it?

I'd love to know if there's a sure-fire way. I've had success and failure in the last week - and I thought I did the same thing both times.
I tried both the regular link and embedding when I was adding links to Lyn's TLC on Monday and neither was working for me.
Although when I try now, oddly, the embed link is working for me.
Mind you, I was in a bit of a rush on Monday morning, so when the embed option didn't seem to be anything other than code, I just reverted to the link thinking it was better than nothing.
Way back, we used to always have to grab the embed code, and then some years ago it changed to all we needed was the link to share, and that auto-converted.

No clue. I had a video embedded in a post without even trying. All I did was type the text then I put the YouTube link on a separate line:

Let's see if that embeds here.

Hmm...it embeds but I get an error message when I click on it.
Trying a different YouTube artist to see if that works.

Weird. I get an embedded video but when I click on it I get an error message. Not sure if it's an SCS issue, a YouTube issue or a Melissa issue.
