Embedding videos in READMEs

When I attempt to embed a video file in my Gitea repo README file using HTML markup the markdown parser displays the fallback text (i.e. “Your browser does not support HTML5 video”) rather than creating a video element from the supplied source(s).

Example markup in README:

<video controls>
  <source src="https://user.keybase.pub/demo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <p>Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video. Here is a <a href="https://user.keybase.pub/demo.mp4">link to the video</a> instead.</p>
</video>

Is there an available setting to configure to markdown parser to render video content? If there were, could Gitea be instructed to prefetch the content when the page is loaded?

Is there a solution for this in the meantime (it’s been a while…)? I am also struggeling with embedding videos…
