if you want the video to play right in the newsfeed, you need to attach video not just copy/past the embed code in the newsfeed

Contact your hosting provider and request to disable mod_security module on your server

I have the same problem as Sean.

No webadmin will disable mod_security module.

Is there any other way to embed videos on posts ?

Mihai, did you admin disable mod_security module or not?
