Google seems to be showing the video carousel within Google Search a lot less often. Semrush had the video carousel showing up in Google Search at just over 30% of queries but now it is under 20% of the time. Some other data shows it dropping even worse.

Here is the Semrush chart:

Jonas Sickler notified me of this and shared a chart of 1,200 Fortune 1000 and Forbes List brand name searches that he tracks daily and it showed it going from about 40% to about 5% of the time, here is his chart that he shared on LinkedIn:
