Hello, previously when I pasted a YouTube URL into the title of a new post, the title of the YouTube video was automatically retrieved, but this no longer works. Do you know why?

What Discourse version do you use exactly? There was a change related to getting titles of YouTube videos last week: FIX: Use oEmbed for YouTube oneboxing (#35959) committed 04:13AM - 12 Nov 25 UTC (UTC) […

It’s now working on my PC but not on mobiles (tried on two different Android mobiles, Chrome and Edge browers). The title extracted is always on mobiles “ - Youtube” This is my test Youtube URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQUnHEgKlUE

Hi, happy new year ! Works on Meta for me, does not work anymore on my site https://dessein-tech.com/ after a period of time where it worked. Some URL work, some other do not like this one https://youtu.be/Jh0jPUBP9Iw?si=s9wQGHPF1rryNyED

I suspect this could be due to the server where this site is hosted being denied or throttled by YouTube themselves?
