YouTube Video Embed Support

[SohamTilekar]

What would you like to be added?

Enable support for embedding YouTube videos when a YouTube link is added. Since the Gemini API supports extracting and handling YouTube video content, the system should automatically recognize the link and render an embedded playable YouTube video instead of just displaying the raw URL.

Reference: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/video-understanding#youtube

Why is this needed?

This feature improves user experience by allowing direct video playback without leaving the platform. It makes the interface more interactive, reduces friction, and fully leverages Gemini’s video understanding capabilities rather than treating YouTube links as plain text.

Additional context

• Should automatically detect valid YouTube URLs
• Should embed the video with a playable UI
• Should gracefully handle invalid or unsupported links
• Can optionally include fallback text in case embedding fails
