You can accept only the parameter after v= and keep the field as required.

<!DOCTYPE html>
   <html>
   <body>

 <h2>HTML Forms</h2>

  <form action="">
  <label for="fname">You tube link1:</label><br>
 <input type="text" id="youtube_link" name="youtube_link" 
  value="0eKVizvYSUQ"><br>
 <label for="lname">you tubelink 2:</label><br>
  <input type="text" id="youtube_link2" name="youtube_link2" 
  value="0eKVizvYSUQ"><br><br>
     <input type="submit" value="Submit">
   </form> 
 </body>

Now to in validation just put required

        public function youtube(Request $request)
   {
     if ($request->ajax())
     {
       $rules = [
         'youtube_link'=>'required',
          'youtube_link2'=>'required',
        ];
         ...
      }
    
   }

to convert embed links concatenate the input as follows

   $data['youtube_link'] = "https://www.youtube.com/embed/" . $request
                          ->youtube_link
    $data['youtube_link2'] = "https://www.youtube.com/embed/" . $request
      ->youtube_link2

To display create an iframe like

<iframe width="853" height="480" src="{{$data->youtube_link}}" 
  title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; 
 clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" 
 allowfullscreen> 
 </iframe>

Hope this will help.

To verify url parameters you can use the parse_url() method as folows

 $link_1 = parse_url("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eKVizvYSUQ");

This will return an array of url parameters like

   array:4 [?
         "scheme" => "https"
         "host" => "www.youtube.com"
         "path" => "/watch"
         "query" => "v=0eKVizvYSUQ"
         ]

now you can write your own logic to verify. It may solve your problem.
