Well, here’s how to fix it without fuss

When you get to the end of your blog post where you’d like to embed the image simply switch to the source of the blog post and paste the embed code for your video.

Switch back to the Edit tab, save and publish your post without errors

NOTE: For some reason after embedding the video, I couldn’t edit the blog post again so do make sure that your blog post is complete before embedding the video this way.
