No preview generated for YouTube links

[paulchen]

Description:

For certain YouTube links, no preview is shown.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Write a message that only contains the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4yXBIigZbg

Expected behavior:

The message is shown together with a preview for the given link.

Actual behavior:

No preview is shown:

(the second link is already the next message)

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 6.0.0
• Deployment Method: Docker
• Number of Running Instances: 1
• MongoDB Version: 6.0.5

Client Setup Information

This behaviour is client agnostic. It can be reproduced in a browser, in the Electron client, and in the Android app.

Additional context

Most YouTube links are not affected by this problem. However, there are some YouTube links in addition to the one above that show the same behaviour, e.g.:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1ZAMiW4yEQ
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlAHCGUKFjE
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abusPM-9mqQ
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L4-NHoaF3A

I was unable to determine a pattern.

Discord shows a preview:

However, Slack does not:

I also checked the link using Facebook's Sharing Debugger to ensure the OpenGraph information is present and can be extracted:

Additionally, I also verified the page using https://www.opengraph.xyz/ which also worked:

Hey @hugocostadev I tried to log the content of the provided url in the issue and the body of it was unauthorized,that may be the issue why preview is not visible.It doesn't happens with other urls.

This is still a problem, any plans on fixing it?
