How do we post YouTube video on Friendica? Either a thumbnail with the title and description (like when I link to a news article somewhere) or an embed of the video? I've tried

BBcodes and the "Link or Media" button in the post editor and nothing worked. They either just render as a text-only link or this empty box with "Enter a title" and "Enter a description"Friendica Support reshared this.

and then click the text preview away.. then it mostly works. When I later edit the post, I see that the link has been transformed to this form:[youtube]12345abc[/youtube]

(with /embed/) then those boxes show "YouTube" and "www.youtube.com" and it will link to the video, but still no thumbnail and no description.
