 * Hi [@mikeyswede](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeyswede/),
 * Thanks for writing in, and apologies for the delayed response!
 * The ACF oEmbed field relies entirely on WordPress’s native oEmbed engine to fetch
   and display media. This means it will only work out-of-the-box with URLs from
   WordPress’s official list of whitelisted providers (such as Vimeo, DailyMotion,
   SoundCloud, etc.).
 * If you are trying to embed a video from an unsupported source, the field won’t
   be able to render it automatically. To get other videos working, you will either
   need to host them on a supported platform or manually register your custom video
   source in your theme’s `functions.php` file using the standard WordPress `wp_oembed_add_provider()`
   function.
 * If that doesn’t solve it, we’d love to continue investigating and troubleshooting
   this with you. This forum is generally used by ACF users to help each other out,
   so please create a ticket using our [support form](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/contact/)
   and our team can look into it further.
 * Kind regards,
   Pat

 * Thanks for the `wp_oembed_add_provider()` function-tip
   It workedUsed the codewp_oembed_add_provider(‘
   https://_.url/_‘, ‘[http://url/api/oembed](http://url/api/oembed).{format}’, 
   false );
