 With #34115 now resolved, we can now support oEmbeds in the video widget
 instead of limiting the widget to just playing what is supported by
 MediaElement.js. See previously #40935 where the video widget was
 explicitly limited to support YouTube and Vimeo since these were the only
 hosted video providers that MediaElement.js supported directly without
 needing to resort to oEmbed.

 See #39994 for the introduction of the video widget.
