Allow private VideoPress videos to play when the URL is pasted on Video Embed URL.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, if the video is added to a lesson though the Video Embed URL field, the video does not play and will display the message "This video is private", as you can see in this screenshot. However, if you also add the same video using the VideoPress Gutenberg block or by the [videopress] shortcode, that first video will play. As as result, you will have two videos (again these are the same videos with the same URL) playing on the same lesson page, as you can see in this video I recorded.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow the private VideoPress video to play for registered users of the WordPress site when the video is added to the lesson page using the Video Embed URL field of LifterLMS lessons.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.
