You're welcome, Newt.

But sometimes the easiest solution doesn't first come to mind. If what is pasted is a link, appearance may depend on the style, highlight the link and click on the unlink button, the button with two chain links and an X at the lower right.

Added to the OP:

Videos from most popular sites, such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Metacafe, can be embedded as described above.  If a video from some other site cannot be embedded, then the link to the video can be included instead.  In this case, the link button is used to create a live URL that can be clicked on.

Also:


Rumble embedding is not supported, which means the video is not directly visible in a post.

But simply inserting a plain text link will convert to a live link which shows does show the video on a Rumble page.

For those willing to go to additional effort, on the Rumble page, click on the Embed button under the video, than copy the contents of Embed IFRAME URL.  Post that here, and the live link opens a full screen video.
