So I guess only option is direct links. It is good idea to include those anyway for compatibility.

Fwiw, though the media didn't embed for me, they all did show up as links.

Are you going through the website or some app?

I tested it with these:
Opera 74 (Android 11): Works
Firefox 104 (Manjaro): Works
Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 7): Doesn't format the website correctly, though media was embedded into the mess
