PeerTube 'automatic' embed

[haywardgb]

Would it be possible to add support for automatic Peertube embeds, the same as YouTube embeds work. ​https://peertube.video/videos/watch/217eefeb-883d-45be-b7fc-a788ad8507d3

Thank you for the request, @haywardgb!

I've just tested, and it appears that Peertube's oEmbed support works well with WordPress: I can just paste the video URL into the editor, and it will be automatically embedded.

In order to take it a step further, and add Peertube as a listed embed provider, could I get you to answer the questions listed here?

Hi,
Unless I'm doing something wrong, it doesn't work for me.
Could it have something to do with the fact that I'm on wordpress.com?

PeerTube is free, open source software and can used by any organisation or person. Being a mainstream service does not really apply here. Development is lead by non-profit organisation Framasoft (​https://framasoft.org/, ​https://twitter.com/framasoft).

Development is public and has 122 contributors:

Oembed code looks okay to me:

The website and documentation are available in multiple languages:
​https://joinpeertube.org/en/
​https://docs.joinpeertube.org/

The software has a Wikipedia page:

PeerTube is comparable with video portals like YouTube and Vimeo that are already supported in WordPress.
