Hello.

When we copy and paste a YouTube video onto a board it’s just the video but it doesn’t include the name of the video.
My suggestion is to include the name/title of the YouTube video at the bottom so we know exactly what video we copy/pasted. The more YouTube videos we add to a board the more beneficial a title becomes especially as we start to zoom out. 

Thank you for your time. Bye.

Perhaps if someone else could verify this? 

Try to do the same thing but with a YouTube short link.  When I paste a YouTube short link on my board, it shows the name/title.  If I paste a regular YouTube link on the board, no name/title.

So I figured it out.
If you copy/paste a YouTube link directly onto the board it won’t show the title. You’ll get what appears on the right side of the image.
If you copy/paste a YouTube link onto the link field when you go to the Import option on the right toolbar then you will get what appears on the left side of the image- a title is included. 
The problem is this comes at a cost.
The option on the left side doesn’t allow you to play/watch the video directly on the board compared to the right side. Instead it's a pop-up window that covers the board. Also ads appear even though you can be paying for YouTube Premium. This doesn’t happen when playing the video on the right side. 
Is there anyway both options can be merged so we can have the best of both worlds?
