Youtube video embed block doesn't seem to work

[designarti]

Adding youtube URL in the videoblock. Shows the following code:

<figure class="wp-block-video aligncenter"><video controls="" src="https://youtu.be/OJfOsoUYPts"></video>
    <figcaption>iPhone X – does it still worth 1k?</figcaption>
</figure>

After insertion, both backend and frontend looks like this:

And obviously doesn't work. Doesn't load.

Tried to insert both versions of the embeddable URL, youtube.com one and youtu.be one. Same output.

Using underscores theme from Automattic, with no code modifications. It is Gutenber 3.0.1. Running on MAMP Pro, on a Mac, regular setup, nothing wrong with the DE.

I just tried this locally and it worked:

Are you using the YouTube block or the Video block? If you insert a YouTube URL into the Video block it won't work, but the YouTube one will.

I was using the video block. Didn't know it won't work. My issue had "block" in title. You are closing it because it is a known issue, not because for you another widget works, am I right? What you've tried locally doesn't apply to the issue presented.

I guess a cool enhancement to the video block would be detecting certain common urls and changing the block to YouTube, Vimeo, etc if detected. Could you file a feature request issue for that? :-)

Nevermind, looks like this is an existing issue already: #6824.

I have a similar problem but when I try and upload an MP4 files to my server. The other thing that is annoying is when the URL goes missing when I click the edit button.
