 * Maybe you can try this alternative to solve your problem.
    No shortcode is needed
   to embed your url, and it’s absolutely working for me. Sometimes, the problem
   is not in your functions, it’s only hosters who don’t allow external urls to 
   be embed by default settings on your hosting plans. Thanks for the feedback if
   it solves your problem.
 *     ```
       // Enable oEmbed on a specific element
   
       add_filter( 'the_content', array( $wp_embed, 'run_shortcode' ), 8 );
       add_filter( 'the_content', array( $wp_embed, 'autoembed'), 8 );
       ```
