Telegraph, when given addresses of MP4 video files, should generate HTML5 video players (instead of MP4-in-img that are understood only by Safari browsers)
When an URL of an external MP4 video file is posted on a separate blank line in Telegraph (the site, not the Graph Messenger), such an URL becomes the value for the “src” attribute of the newly created “img” tag.
The suggestion here is that Telegraph should deliver the “video” tag of HTML5 (like Teletype does) instead of “img” for MP4 files. That “video” tag is expected to perform as a video player in most modern browsers.
Additional notes:
① The video file https://410chan.org/a/src/162761094329.mp4 (used here as an example) contains an AV1 video track. Being a relatively modern video format, AV1 is not universally understood by web browsers, but that fact is outside of the scope of this suggestion.
② The video file https://410chan.org/a/src/162761094329.mp4 (used here as an example) contains a short quote (less than 125 seconds) from the anime “Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai” episode 4.
