Hide Embed Blocks You Do Not Use
Keeps only the embed providers you choose, like YouTube and Vimeo, in the block inserter instead of dozens of services.

Code
// Embed variations to keep in the inserter.
$wpide_keep_embeds = array( 'youtube', 'vimeo', 'spotify' );
add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', function () use ( $wpide_keep_embeds ) {
wp_register_script( 'wpide-limit-embeds', false, array( 'wp-blocks', 'wp-dom-ready' ), '1.0', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'wpide-limit-embeds' );
wp_add_inline_script(
'wpide-limit-embeds',
sprintf(
'wp.domReady(function(){var keep=%s;(wp.blocks.getBlockVariations("core/embed")||[]).forEach(function(v){if(keep.indexOf(v.name)===-1){wp.blocks.unregisterBlockVariation("core/embed",v.name);}});});',
wp_json_encode( array_values( $wpide_keep_embeds ) )
)
);
} );Notes
Pasting a URL from a hidden provider may still create an embed.
