Hi there,

I am an admin of a Discourse forum, and whenever I paste a Loom video’s URL into a post, Discourse embeds the entire Loom video into the post (instead of taking the user to the Loom website).

This is fine, because it’s convenient to be able to watch the embedded Loom video directly from the post itself.

However, the problem is that after 90 days, Discourse “expires/disables/retires” the Loom video so it is no longer playable within the post.

The Loom video still exists on the Loom website, and the Loom video is still at the exact same URL on the Loom website. But Discourse no longer allows the embedded Loom video to play anymore.

Is there any way to prevent this behavior from happening?

Thank you!
