Embedded video will not play

Greetings everyone,

I am having issues with playback of multiple embedded videos from a Microsoft article in our internal knowledge base. It tries to load the video and ends up showing a black box. Below you will find the Microsoft article I am trying to embed the videos from. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to reproduce the issue with that video when using my PDI and the URL option, it does work if I use source code in the Article body (HTML) field rather than trying to link directly from URL:

Have you successfully embedded any other videos, or is this the first set you're trying to embed? If this is the first set of videos you may need to prevent the video from being removed via the HTML Sanitizer:

Check out the HTML Sanitizer section in the article below:

This is the first one that I myself am doing however we have several other videos already in our system that do not have this issue.
