Description
When YouTube embeds have loading=lazy attribute and the enablejsapi parameter, a console error is showing:
Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('https://www.youtube.com') does not match the recipient window's origin ('https://hobbies4.life').
I tried setting the origin and widget_referrer and it didn't help.
It means embeds can't be both lazy loaded and tracked for analytics.
I've opened a bug 3 times on the YouTube Issue Tracker and every time it was closed as "not reproducible", although it can be reproduced.
Maybe it relates to the way WordPress implements the API?
