I humbly request that the site admin add a Youtube-style 'insert tag' so that members can embed Twitter videos.

Rationale: Given the fast moving news and freshness of Twitter videos unloaded on breaking news stories; the embed feature will be of benefit to members. Youtube is now behind the 'breaking' news curve of twitter on important news issues.

Benefits? No flash, html5.

If you need help coding the function, let me know.

example embed code:

<blockquote class="twitter-video" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Pokemon hunting is for real at Santa Monica Pier. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/VideoOfTheDay?src=hash">#VideoOfTheDay</a> (via <a href="https://twitter.com/scotthoying">@scotthoying</a>) <a href="https://t.co/KRel767bYo">pic.twitter.com/KRel767bYo</a></p>— Twitter Video (@video) <a href="https://twitter.com/video/status/755607185208385536">July 20, 2016</a></blockquote>

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Embedding of ANY social media protocol would be great...like WordPress has when you enter a social media URL it auto-boxes it in the native GUI upon posting.
