Hi all,
It is not a setting or anything you have to change. It is a bug in the messaging application that occurs on both Android and iOS and has nothing to do with YouTube.
The problem is foreign to YouTube and is beyond the scope of this forum, and from what it seems, it will be resolved in future updates of the messaging application, so always check that you have the latest version installed.

Problem solved...at least it disappeared now.
This is what I have done: ( Last night)
1. Backup my Whatsapp on phone. ( Settings > Chats > Chat backup )
2. Uninstall Whatsapp ( Google Playstore > Whatsapp > Uninstall )
3. Reinstall Whatsapp ( Google Playstore > Whatsapp > Install )
I tested it immediately last night, it wasn't working then... I left it alone.
This morning, I found it start working on my phone.
Then my Whatsapp web version also works later.
Hope this helps someone.

So I just encountered the same problem where I posted a video link and the preview didn't show up. Tried multiple things including the debugging thing and rebooting, but nothing. Then I tried deleting the last letter in the link, it showed the YouTube dead link preview, then I retyped in the last letter back in and the preview worked. I don't know why that happens, but it did. I tried to post the link again, same issue, deleted the last letter and retyped it and link preview worked again. Just a heads up for anyone with this issue, this may be a fix.

Samething happens for me too. I installed antivirus on my mobile and suspect possibly it is blocking previews. Did not check uninstalling antivirus though.

I am facing this issue rn and no, the videos that have embedding disabled show a disclaimer of that when you try sharing it on Whatsapp. But this time it doesn’t show any disclaimer, it just stopped showing previews out of nowhere.

This post was in July. It is December and I am STILL having this problem! I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc, etc. It is mostly YouTube that gives me this problem, other links don't do this. To make matters worse, my friend has the same carrier and the SAME PHONE, same links, same WhatsApp-----and they work for him, but not for me.

Same issue.
I thought I was the only one facing it. Whose problem is this? Youtube's or WhatsApp's?
Is YouTube purposely preventing it so that Picture-in-Picture can't be used in WhatsApp? What an evil behaviour if it's true.

I think It's not working for everyone, Seems to be a bug.
If you really need to send with the preview, Try with the video screen shot as a photo and the link attached to it until they fix the issue.

Hi all,
It is not a setting or anything you have to change. It is a bug in the messaging application that occurs on both Android and iOS and has nothing to do with YouTube.
The problem is foreign to YouTube and is beyond the scope of this forum, and from what it seems, it will be resolved in future updates of the messaging application, so always check that you have the latest version installed.
