Front end wp_editor not rendering audio/video links

I’ve been fighting this for a while on a series of themes I make that provide a front end content creation interface not requiring a WP account. For the last two years I have said “trust me, URLs will embed”.

Those old tickets are dormant, but I just have found a solution here

For the template that renders the page you are using for your form, you need to add an enqueue statement.

This is some partial code on a site where auto embeds are not working on an editor added via wp_editor()

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_truwriter_scripts');

function add_truwriter_scripts() {  

    // set up main styles
    $parent_style="radcliffe_style"; 

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style ),
        wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
    );



if ( is_page('write') ) { // use on just our form page

    // Get Embed functionality in rich text editor
    // h/t https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/287623
    wp_enqueue_script( 'mce-view' );
   :
   :
   // unrelated code follows
