 Unlike images, you can't easily align oEmbeded content in WordPress. When
 clicking the Pencil icon to edit the content, there's no option to change
 its alignment.

 While there is a plugin that adds oEmbed styling
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/oembed-styling/], I think it's something
 that should be a core behavior. At the very least, core should provide a
 set of oEmbed CSS Classes that themes can adopt to allow users to control
 the alignment within the post editor.

 One example is Slideshare. When I copy and paste a Slideshare link into
 the Visual editor, it aligns it to the left. When I click on the Pencil
 icon to edit the content, the only things I can manipulate is the URL and
 Maximum width/Maximum Height.

 I searched the WordPress.org support forums to see how popular of a
 request this is and most of the responses are from 5 years ago before
 oEmbed was added to WordPress. I also searched Trac to see if a ticket
 requesting this had already been filed and came up empty.
