Description

**Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.**
As a user, when I copy and paste a link to youtube or spotify I want the resource to be displayed, embedded in the chat where I can interact with it seamelessly.

![spotify](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1480457/80563039-ccb0d300-8a3d-11ea-98d3-5e8ca5958019.PNG)

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Something similar to discord where if I paste a link to spotify, the client will render and [embedded spotify play button](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/widgets/) for the resource.

Similar for youtube.

The same considerations could be made for numerous other services (Twitch, Vimeo, Youtube Music, etc)

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
None
