Using Shortcodes in Markdown to Display Videos

Do I use html tags?

<video>NO!</video>

Do I use the embed code?

<iframe width="960" height="540" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s1CZfoYGASs" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="false"></iframe>

You must use shortcodes you silly bastard.

The shortcode for a YouTube video embed is nice and short: Alt

Which will result in the video being embedded like this:

The video is from thiscolossal.com

That is all.
