Embed YouTube links as playable videos
If you post a YouTube link manually it embeds on your Facebook page.
Currently, Hootsuite creates a thumbnail image and puts up a text link to a YouTube video instead of embedding it straight on Facebook.
This is way less attractive when a user is browsing their feed, so I want to suggest embedding for YouTube (and Soundcloud) implemented when posting links from Hootsuite.

Is there any improvements on embedding YT videos from the HootSuite dashboard? Would greatly appreciate hearing any updates on this feature. Thanks!

Please not only YT or Soundcloud. Please make it possible, that you read og:video or og:flash tags....

Yes! Please fix this now! This is definitely a deal-breaker for me as I mostly post videos.

Yes. Yes. Yes. It used to embed the video up until like, last week when you used the share link. What happened?
