    Use the actual youtube page URL and no the embed url that is on the youtube video page

      Correct. Just use the actual URL, the one in the address bar of your browser. Copy and paste the link in your post, your video should be showing.

    The URL from the embed option, under the 'Share' tab?

      The exact URL will only work if you have latest version of Wordpress.

    Try with exact youtube URL instead of embedded code.
