As you know, web instances don't display video. Perhaps there is information on when full video support is planned?

Well, all I can say it works for me.

Not sure what frontend you're using or if it is maybe instance depended, but the feature isn't missing from the lemmy core.

YouTube previews are displayed normally. I suppose this problem occurs only with direct links, example www.site.com/827474/mycats.mp4

As you saw in the screenshots, for the test I used direct links to videos uploaded to reddit and the x0.at service.

I did the test in two different browsers and in two different instances. I've also read in the comments under various video posts that other people are also discovering this problem.
