I was able to fix this with Cloudflare until it’s officially patched.

For anyone running into the same issue, the cause is that YouTube now rejects embed requests missing a valid referrer policy header.

I added a `Referrer-Policy` header through Cloudflare’s **Transform Rules** (no Workers needed).

Here’s what I did:

1. In Cloudflare, go to **Rules → Transform Rules → HTTP Response Header Modification.**

2. Create a new rule, choose **All incoming requests** , and add a static header:

3. Deploy the rule.

Will remove this once patched.
