Can we post videos? (self.support)

The Create Post page says that it can accept videos in the html, but when I just tried to upload an mp4 I got this error:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Are we supposed to be able to upload videos here?

I just realised PeerTube videos are already being embedded, they're just hard to find. You have to either click the book icon or open the post, then click the Expand here button. So it's about displaying that where the preview image is. Don't know if it's the same with YouTube.
