Description

Wordpress version 5.0.1. Dreamhost Linux/apache host. When i add a post to wordpress using the embed youtube block, it requests for a link and I have tried using both the share youtube link as well as the browser link and the video appears to play in the editor. however, once you preview draft or publish and view the post, the video is just black and you cannot click on it.

I tried to used the youtube embed iframe and was successful if I put it in a custom html block. The video displays fine. It must the way the code embeds and not the system because the embed iframe really uses the same link src but the parameters are different than when you use the embed block.
