You can just set what categories to show in the arguments of your WP_Quuery.

You can either choose to show more than one category in the one WP_Query loop or you can have multiple loops to show different categories on different sections of the page. If you have more than one loop on the page make sure you reset your query.

Code is only an example.

<?php 

    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'cat' => 33,
        'posts_per_page' => 1
    );

    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

?>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

    <?php
        $youtube = get_field('youtube_embed_code');
    ?>

    <?php echo "$youtube"; ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
