A lot of times web sites add all kinds of information to the YouTube URL (web address), information that can prevent embedding.

The link should look like this (I put a space after .com so it would show):

https://www.youtube.com /watch?v=tYuqnUs9gP8

If the link has other info beginning with a # or another ? or an =, it might not embed. I'm not certain of this, but that's been my experience.
