What URL formats are accepted?

URLs of the form https://podeduc.apps.education.fr/video/[video-id]/.

The video does not display correctly — I see the full PodEduc website.

Make sure the URL contains the specific video identifier and not a search or listing page.

The preview in the Gutenberg editor looks incorrect.

The editor preview may differ from the final output. This does not affect the public-facing rendering, which displays correctly.
