Try to use this code below for post with custom code:

/<video src="https://htmlreference.io/assets/HTML%205%20Video.mp4" controls> </video>

Use the trailing backslash - I believe it is a temp workaround #bug not a #feature

Mat ­, you naughty little hacker!

Mat ­, tried it on my community but did nog get it to work :-(

Natascha Vantuykom

Was that a selfhosted video? How did you do that?

Mat ‎

Natascha Vantuykom, just copy the above HTML code and add the backslash before the code so it is not trimmed - its temporary workaround #bug haha

Mat ­ the word pist has multiple meanings, including a skiing trail and a vulgar slang term...

Awesome!

Except for this weird carrot //\ that shows up

Hac Media, Yes it is not the way we should embed it but if someone need a trick this can be used as temp workaround for external video embed.

BTW: HTML injection needs to be improved or validated so end-users won't do magic hacks etc
