Could extension detect when running in VS Code desktop and render YouTube videos as links instead of iframes? #57

Awesome, thanks! Just to make the UX a bit closer to Codespaces, should we perhaps embed an img instead with the video's thumbnail, https://stackoverflow.com/a/2068371, at a 16x9 aspect ratio?
