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 [url], [video], and [youtube] 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"

Pasting the link just gets me the "Enter a title" "Enter a description" and a text link. If I paste the YouTube URL like "https://www.youtube.com/embed/..." (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. According to @Michael 🇺🇦 above in this thread it sounds like it will never work on my instance unless its IP address changes to one YouTube isn't blocking.
