 * Hi Anders,
 * I can’t seem to figure out how to style the <figcaption> in the .wp-block-embed
   globally using additional CSS. I essentially just want to be able to style the
   captions on a video embed globally, without having to do it inline every single
   time I embed a video.
 * I dug through the theme css to see if you were using something funky to style
   the embed block, but I’m not seeing anything weird. Any tips? Thanks.
 * Update: nevermind, I figured it out. I added this to custom CSS. I must’ve had
   things backwards:
 * .wp-block-embed figcaption { font-size: smaller; }
