Can we embed videos or webms?

Can we get the ability to embed videos from places like giphy? With so many AI videos, it'd be nice to not have to convert them to huge GIFs and upload them as images.

In theory, yes.
In practice it seems that the media embed stuff just doesn't work correctly.

Maybe I should get a few more gremlins to kick stuff.

Disabling and enabling the media tag seemed to actually have helped.

At least I got in an embedded video in the test board.

Lets see if it keeps working for any reasonable amount of time :D
