Description

Via Zendesk, we had a question about TikTok embeds.

The default TikTok embed code is based on <blockquote> and includes script tags, and so isn't suitable for entering directly in the Media configuration.

However, TikTok supports oEmbed, so it should actually be pretty straightforward for us to add support.
