I am creating a server that fixes twitter video embeds and it is nearly perfect
But as you can see the only thing that this is missing is the ability to show the tweets text as a description, Allowing this would help to let normal people embed videos in more professional looking ways from both projects like this and personal websites
Thanks for reading!
UPDATE: So I've done some more testing, and it is actually possible to show the description field, but the really weird thing, is it only shows up on mobile! So platform parity needs to be made
Mobile
Desktop
For reference, this is the code used for the embed
Another Update!
I was able to get this sort of working by switching over to creating my own oEmbed endpoint on my server - While this technically does work, the listed problem should still be fixed as not being able to see descriptions on one platform while being able to see it on another is a real hassle
