<p>I have just edited a new post, <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/4153/help-understanding-bridge-settings">Help understanding bridge settings</a>, so that the video would be &quot;inlined&quot; and playable in the post itself<sup>1</sup>.</p>
<p>However, the video does not show up, and only the raw link (<code>https://youtu.be/HaeCBru3mOI</code>) is displayed:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/f7jmC.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/f7jmC.png" alt="Only raw link is visible" /></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is the markup:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ukkfG.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ukkfG.png" alt="Markup of post" /></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I have used the <em>same</em> markup method, for inlining the video clip as this post, <a href="https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/34121/is-atc-communication-subject-to-fcc-profanity-regulations">Is ATC communication subject to FCC profanity regulations?</a>, on SE.Aviation:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kgTCg.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kgTCg.png" alt="Markup on SE.Aviation" /></a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>and there the video clip is inlined:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LrHrI.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LrHrI.png" alt="Post on SE.Aviation showing inline video clip" /></a></p>
</blockquote>
<hr />
<h3>TL;DR</h3>
<p>Is video inlining disabled on SE.3D Printing, or is it because we are still beta?</p>
<p>If it can be enabled , then should/could it be enabled?</p>
<p>I personally think it would be useful to enable it, and save a few mouse clicks (and RSI) having to open the video in another tab/window etc. What do other people think?</p>
