So there is one question that you can ask, Will YouTube count the views of an embedded video? Then the answer is Yes or no. 

So if the video is autoplay, then YouTube will not count the view and if a user leaves the video after clicking on the button before 30 seconds, then the views will not count in the embedded video.

In this way, you can add the video schema to your blog post. And if you have any doubt regarding this, then you can ask us in the comments.
