Twitter/X and Vimeo embedded videos in product pages.

Are you annoyed by having your preview videos age restricted or restricted cause of copyright reasons?

This happens way too much for our products when using youtube, but there is a good alternative.

On a twitter/X direct post link, adding the text "fixup" as a prefix lets you directly play a video from the location the link is posted (works in discord too) and it does not generate the regular limitations like youtube does.

So this link https://x.com/darealthreevee/status/1767979557464805549

would be https://fixupx.com/darealthreevee/status/1767979557464805549

You can see an example of this on my product page here from Gumroad where it shows off Threevee's DLC for her, you can click the video and it plays instantly with no ads or trouble

Allowing embedding of these links would be so helpful and also let users promote products on twitter/x at the same time as also embedding that same promotion with the video into their product page.

Gumroad allows this and a slew of other sources and its such a great thing that I would hope we could get here too.

Vimeo is also a great alternative as it doesnt either redirect people away from jinxxy the same way as Youtube does.

This would allow jinxxy to also not have to deal with video files on its own too which could probably be helpful.
