- We don't support anyone public anonymous embed codes for videos. (Not sure if that old workaround works for other file types?) We only support direct anyone links.
The article is a couple years old so doesn't reflect the recent new feature for Embed for videos stored in SharePoint/OneDrive.
For an external site use case, for sure the "anyone with the link" would need to be set on the video - or otherwise it won't work. Assuming "anyone with the link" is available. I know that gets disabled at the tenant level in many orgs.

Hi Kevin,
The "Anyone with the link" option is available. I've tried updating the embed code with it, but to no avail.

Martin_Richter_Olsen - We may add this in the future, but I don't have a timeline or roadmap item.
Supporting public anonymous embed codes has various cost and security implications we'd need to work through if we were to add this feature.
- o.k. Thanks for clarifying. (I was looking for a very quick video sharing option for our support staff and word press blogs)
