[Resolved] YouTube Embedded Videos Not Working -The request method GET is inappropriate for the URL /youtubei/v1/next

Hi Trevor-

Thanks for the report, I’m sorry to hear about the problems using embedded videos. I checked out the video on your website, “Ming Dynasty Vase,” as well as other videos on my testing installations.

I was able to replicate the issue that you reported- but only on the Chrome browser using a Linux operating system. The same problem happens with other WordPress editors including the default “Gutenberg” editor.

Chrome on Windows, Android and MacOS plays the video correctly, so I suspect this is an issue specifically with Chrome for Linux. The video even played correctly using Chromium for Linux, a chrome-based browser.

Can you confirm that you’re seeing the issue on Linux Chrome, or let us know what browser and operating system you’re using otherwise? I’ve reached out to YouTube support about the issue.
