When placing a YouTube or Vimeo video within the first 4000 characters of a post, the thumbnail of that video will automatically be uploaded and set as the featured image for the post as long as the post does not already have a set featured image.
In addition, after setting the video thumbnail as the featured image, an “is_video” post meta field is updated to allow for the use of conditional statements within your loop.

Automatic Featured Images from Videos

Tried this a bunch of times and it doesnt work. No errors or warnings, it just never sets the featured image

No longer works

An essential part of our Wordpress website. Saved hours of work. Thanks very much.

Just cool

If a YouTube or Vimeo video embed exists near the start of a post, we'll automatically set the post's featured image to a thumbnail of the video.

[iframe src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/7_nAZQt9qu0″ width=”100%” height=”500″] shortcode 
should show something like this:
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7_nAZQt9qu0?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
WordPress removes iframe html tags because of security reasons. 
Iframe shortcode is the replacement of the iframe html tag and accepts the same params as iframe html tag does. 
You may use iframe shortcode to embed content from YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps or from any external page.
If you need to embed content from YouTube, Vimeo, SlideShare, SoundCloud, Twitter via direct link, you may use <code>[embed]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_nAZQt9qu0[/embed]</code> shortcode. 
[embed] shortcode is a core WordPress feature and can <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds" rel="nofollow ugc">embed content from many resources via direct link</a>.
Important: You can not embed HTTP pages into HTTPS pages and vice versa. 
So the protocol (http or httpS) for parent and embedded page should match.
