I find it challenging to comprehend why certain videos successfully embed in our forum while others do not. For instance, when someone shares a YouTube URL, it embeds as a playable video, which is great. However, URLs from other sites do not render as embedded playable videos, despite witnessing the same URLs appearing as embedded playable videos on other forums that are not using Discourse. Could there be any restrictions in place? I’ve checked the settings, but I haven’t found anything relevant.

There is a topic very similar to yours [image] Videos not embedding Support I’m struggling to understand why some videos embed in our forum and some do not. For example, if someone posts a YouTube URL it embeds as a playable video. Great. URLs from other sites don’t render as an embedded playable video, even though I can see the same URLs as embedded playable videos on other (non-Discourse) forums. So, are there restrictions somewhere? I don’t find anything in the settings. Did you have a look at that?
