Embedly

Enhance the default WordPress embedding to get previews for any article, 
including your own blog posts. You also get embeds for YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, 
Google Maps, and Embedly’s growing list of <a href="https://embed.ly/providers" rel="nofollow ugc">1000+ supported 
providers</a>.
You can customize the style of the embeds, to optimize for darker WP themes, 
alignment, and width. In addition, social buttons can be added around the embeds 
to make it easier to share content from your blog posts.
If you have an Embedly Cards account, you can link it to the plugin with your Embedly API key. Not only does this remove branding from the cards, it also gives you access to analytics and viewer behaviors for most popular music and video player embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, SoundCloud). Find out how many people viewed your embeds for how long. To learn more about Embedly Cards please visit <a href="https://embed.ly/cards" rel="nofollow ugc">our website</a>.
Using it is as simple as the default WordPress embedding. Embed media by pasting its URL in a single line when writing a post.
The plugin automatically displays an embed of the media in the WordPress post editor.
Fair Warning: This plugin generates static HTML content for your posts. After you deactivate 
the plugin, that HTML will still remain behind in all posts where the plugin was used to create 
embeds.

The Embedly Plugin extends WordPress's auto-embed feature to give your blog more media types and style options.

Plugin that allows you to embed details from GitHub just by pasting in the URL as you would any other embed source. Currently supports:
<ul>
<li>Repositories</li>
<li>User profiles</li>
<li>Project milestone summaries</li>
<li>Project contributors</li>
</ul>
Coming soon:
<ul>
<li>Gists…</li>
</ul>
The plugin provides very basic styling, but adds classes so you can style as you see fit. If anyone has some ideas for a better default stylesheet – pull requests welcome!
The main development is all going on on <a href="https://github.com/leewillis77/wp-github-oembed" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.

http instead of https.



Posting the URL (which should trigger an embed in Gutenberg) using https seems to be hit or miss, but using http worked for all URLs I tried.


Does seem to work, with this 1 simple trick
