get_your_groove_on_fridayYouTube has recently changed their embed code to use the <iframe> tag. For security reasons, both Dreamwidth and LiveJournal do not allow this tag to be used for embedding. If you try to post an embedded video that uses the <iframe> tag, nothing will show up.
The good news is that a workaround is available.
On YouTube, after clicking the embed link three checkboxes will appear below the embed code. Click the one that says "use old embed" code. This will change the embedding code to something that LiveJournal and Dreamwidth support.
