Turns out it was a ridiculously simple mistake - apparently there is a “Save Embedding Settings” button at the very far bottom left of the screen on the settings. Even though it _looks like_ clicking the blue check mark next to the host does the “save”, you still need to find that save button and click it.

Additionally, once I did find it I was alerted to the fact that I needed to enter a username.

Honestly, that save button is really unintuitive - it is difficult to find, there is no penalty for not hitting it, the page seems to save my settings regardless (but not apply them I guess?) and none of the guides on this mention that I need to find it and hit it.
