Paste the url on a line by itself. You can test on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org). If it works there and not your server then something is wrong with your installation.
Is it a [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true)? Does it have access to the internet?

Note that some services require extra work to be done _on their side_ to allow embedding.
Example: [Configure an app token for Instagram oneboxes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-an-app-token-for-instagram-oneboxes/223548)
