Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't YouTube iframes work on GitHub?

GitHub's Markdown sanitizer strips raw <iframe> elements to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS). The standard industry solution is linking an automatic video thumbnail image directly to the video URL.

Where can I use these embeds?

Anywhere Markdown is accepted! This includes GitHub READMEs, Issues, Pull Requests, GitLab, Bitbucket, Dev.to, Hashnode, Reddit, and Obsidian.

Are external thumbnails hosted on your server?

No. Thumbnails are pulled directly from YouTube and Loom's official global CDNs with zero proxy overhead.
