Home is where the hearth is.

It works well for me.  Are copying the embed code from youtube?

This can happen if the src url in the iframe is non-secure (http://) instead of secure (https://).

Edit:
Read your question too fast. Seeing that you got an error, most likely it's not what I mentioned, but doesn't hurt to check.
What I mentioned usually results in an empty area where the video should be.

Never have any problems. I'd need to see the html code. Can't just use a link like in WP.

When it 'takes' there will be a grey box but not the actual video showing.

I'm sure Craig has the 411!

I have ALWAYS used the 'share/embed' from YT then I have a code to center it . . . plug it into the source code and it usually works. LOL
