## Code

```php
// URL pattern (regex) and the service's oEmbed endpoint.
$wpide_oembed_pattern  = '#https?://(www\.)?example-video\.com/watch/.*#i';
$wpide_oembed_endpoint = 'https://example-video.com/oembed';

add_action( 'init', function () use ( $wpide_oembed_pattern, $wpide_oembed_endpoint ) {
    wp_oembed_add_provider( $wpide_oembed_pattern, $wpide_oembed_endpoint, true );
} );
```

## Notes

Replace the example with the service's URL pattern and oEmbed endpoint from its documentation; only add services you trust, as they inject HTML into your pages.
