@lavenderdotpet On other apps, the image will be made larger so it is easier to see On Cinny the image is small and hard to see. |

This is a homeserver issue. URL Previews ("embeds") are created on the homeserver, both for caching and for security. Changes would need to be made to Synapse, Continuwuity, et al. first to provide richer preview data from the site before they could be embedded by the client. As for better images in the previews that are currently there, #2309 addresses that to a degree. |

It looks like changes to the Matrix spec are already being proposed to remedy this. MSC4417 looks like it would grant a way to get more link information for embeds through an appservice registered on the homeserver. Something to keep an eye out for homeservers start to implement this (Synapse already has an open PR that implements this MSC). Assuming a homeserver offers the proposed endpoint and has has the appservice set up to handle it, this would be the route to take. |

Actually videos show up in the metadata(og:video) for example if you wrap up your link with fixupx.com (a trick that allows to bypass discord's refusal to show embeded videos). The issue i've ran into, when i was trying to implement a solution is that CORS prevents the source to be added as a <video> |

Describe the problem
There currently doesn't seem to be embedded support.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would beneficial for there to be embedded support, especially since it's a basic feature many other apps have by default.
