most website don't allow to be embed in a web object (= iframe), you get such an error
Chrome:

If you get such error messages, you need to look for an official embed code with a special allowed URL
e.g. youtube
- embed in iframe not allowed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3L0fbtftRY

but many websites do not have such special embeddable URLs - this is a decision of the website owner
