Embedding video and audio on Medium is easy but looks very bad on the screen. Mostly on smaller screens. But even on bigger screens it looks worse compared to Wordpress and Tumblr.

For example here’s a screenshot made with my Samsung S4:

As you can see, the play button is so small it can’t be pressed. So I can’t listen to the audio which is embedded! How silly is that! And the link below the object looks awful too in my opinion.

It looks a bit better in landscape mode though:

But still no way as good and useful as in Wordpress and Tumblr.

Hope Ev and co are reading this.
