oEmbed Support
Better Messages supports oEmbed for rich media previews directly in messages.
How it works
When users share links to supported platforms in their messages, the content is automatically embedded inline. For example, sharing a YouTube link will display a video player directly in the conversation. The plugin also supports nice link previews that show a thumbnail, title, and description for regular URLs, making shared links more informative and visually appealing.
