Describe the Bug

Im working through docs for ViewTransitions. transitions dont appear to work for iframes (at least not with videos in them!)

Ive supplied a github link to this demo URL which renders html video element, a react counter, and a youtube iframe. The html video element and the react counter for the most part persist across transitions (not in all cases but Ill investigate separately) Howeve a youtube embed iframe reloads with every page nagvigation. Ive tried wrapping the iframe in a div but it too also reloads the iframe with each navigation.

Im wondering how can I play a youtube video or add embedded content and make good use of transition:persist?

Is this beyond design scope? Is it not working intentionally? Or is this a bug?

layout

What's the expected result?

dont know what the expected result is for iframes (bug or intentional?) but I would like to play a youtube video across page navigations.
