Hi
Just had coversion with a dev Actually the Embedly option does not support inside the chatbar thats the reason it would not working to play video. Chatbar is very complex not result.
I am afraid embedly support designed to work only for Mainstream to add media as video player when a video link is posted via postbox video.
Ninja I do not need the function of playing video in the chat bar. I just want the links in the chat bar to be displayed along with the thumbnail and when clicking on the thumbnail - the user can follow the link.
Regular links without thumbnails do not look modern. I just want the link to be there along with a thumbnail image of the link.
I think developers can make support just for showing thumbnails of links for the chat bar (this is done for all social networks).
Even if I send a link to a video from YouTube in the chat bar, it can be just like a link + a thumbnail and the user clicks and then goes to the YouTube site to watch the video.
