For other sources, it can get trickier for sure

got the vid and the stuff underneath the imagedry.

(I only have net access through my cell phone)

The one time I did this previously touching the video brought up a string "directions" like "loop"

"Embed" used to be one of them but I don't see that.

I'm going to recheck bc I was watching a vid on YT and
happen to touch the screen and the list that came up had the "embed" direction.

I wonder if it can be deleted by whomever posts the vid in this case by Vemo.
