I make Youtube videos. I have seen no option to turn this off or on, and I've never seen this phenonenon anywhere else. Maybe the embedded player PF uses is outdated.
So I did an experiment. I embedded this video in Facebook and it worked just fine. The problem is with PF.
I've posted a few videos to YouTube too, most of them for PF, here.
I'm guessing your video was flagged because maybe your video does not have the licensed copyright privileges for the song, "Car Wash" written by Norman Whitfield (with original artist Rose Royce).
If your video is flagged for copyrighted material (YouTube's algorithm does this automatically), it's demonetized (which might not be a big deal if you're not posting videos to make money), and it may also be subject to other things, such as possibly disabling embedding.

But if you want to check that the issue is with your YouTube setting or something else, try this next time when publishing a YouTube video:
1. Sign into YouTube's
Studio Content Manager.
2. Either upload a new video or edit the draft of an already uploaded, but not published, video.
3. In the "Details" section, scroll down to the bottom and click "SHOW MORE."
4. Scroll down to the "License" section.
5. Make sure the "Allow embedding" checkbox is checked.
If you've checked that box and still can't embed your video, I'm guessing it's due to a copyright issue.

Edit: Oh, and you can check existing (already published) videos of yours by hovering your mouse over the video in question (after signing into YouTube's
Studio Content Manager), and clicking the "Details" option that looks like a pencil. Otherwise, the above instructions are the same.
