 Feature Request: I need to ask if you can do this core update for me or
 can you approve me to do the work? Shortcode to embed GoPro video/pictures
 on page/post.

 I have a GoPro Max and it records video in 360 degrees.  I can
 automatically upload my videos to their cloud and it hosts them there for
 me, but all they give me is a link to go to their website to show the
 video. I would like viewers to see my video directly on my blog posts or
 pages.  What I need is a way to embed my video on my website and retain
 the 360 degree quality which allows me to pan in 360 view by dragging on
 the video with the mouse.

 So, I could create a plugin for GoPro to embed videos, but I'd really like
 to see this functionality added to core.  I really am not familiar enough
 with all of WordPress at the moment, but I'm not stupid and am somewhat
 familiar with the internals.  I know that you embed YouTube videos and
 Soundcloud so I figure it's worth asking if we can get GoPro
 videos/pictures embed shortcode installed into WordPress core.  That would
 be so awesome.

 I would love Wordpress all the more.  I have a lot of Wordpress pages and
 am finding things I want to work on to improve things like BuddyPress too
 since I am finding my limits with facebook.  I just need to know a little
 bit about where you would like me to put the Push Requests to GitHub.

 So, can I gain approval to do this work, or can you do it for me?  Here is
 an example video I took so you can get the JavaScript/HTML/CSS:

Comment:

 To provide some additional context, WordPress Core handles embeds using
 oEmbed. New oEmbed providers can be proposed given they follow the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/design-decisions
 /#adding-new-oembed-providers guidelines].

 However, it doesn't appear that Go Pro supports oEmbeds at all, so it is
 unlikely that Core will adopt it as a feature. It would be great for a
 plugin though!
