Try just pasting this on its own line in the Text editor tab, do not surround it with other tags, do not center it, do not make it a link. It needs to simply be by itself untouched:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VlLzcqAQko
If that fails, please leave it as is, and give us the URL of the post or page with the problem.
Yes I just do that but nothing work 🙁
I can’t put the reference to the website cause of my client but you can see the code
<article class="post-1371 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-actualites" id="post-1371">
<h1 class="black">test</h1>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VlLzcqAQko</p>

And if I make it a link wordpress just make it a link nothing more…
I can’t figure where is the problem.
Do you have similar issues with other oEmbed content such as something from slideshare or similar?

What does it look like in the Text editor tab? Is it still this in the editor?

That video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VlLzcqAQko seems to embed into the visual editor just fine for me. I’m using the latest Chrome.
Note that sometimes, if you paste a link with just CTRL-V, then that text might have formatting which will prevent the embed from being instantly recognized. Chrome has a “Paste Plain Text” option with CTRL-SHIFT-V which will strip any embedded formatting, and this usually solves it for me when copy/pasting things that don’t seem to work quite how I expect them to work.
This may be a Chrome or Windows specific problem, but in case of doubt, paste it into a Notepad window and copy it back out from there again to remove any formatting.
Tim: I just test with another video from vimeo… same problem.
James: In both/visual mode I just see the url without no link. But
If I compare my database online I’ve got:
meta_key _oembed_ac18288e2f1ced1114361f153bc9d31f
meta_value {{unknown}} (on localhost i’ve got this value)
Samuel I test on both firefox and chrome and in notepad before to 🙁

Looking through the code, I see that the “not-embeddable” message is returned by WordPress when it cannot get the oEmbed data for whatever reason. There are many possible causes for this:
– Your webserver can’t talk over SSL for whatever reason. Try using a plain http: link, not an https: one.
– Your webserver has no DNS connectivity. If this is the case, your dashboard will be really slow and not show things like the WordPress News panel and so on.
– Your webserver is behind a firewall and cannot talk to the outside world. Ask your hosting service about that. In order to embed things from YouTube or Vimeo, the server has to actually get the embed code from YouTube or Vimeo, basically, so has to be allowed to do so.
I think you’re right, it seems that it’s a hosting problem because I just try to remove all my database table to force wordpress to make a new fresh install and I’ve got the same exact issue…
I can see the WordPress News panel
