Vimeo and YouTube videos can be embedded, but that is only because the DU software is coded to take the URL of the web page the video is on and embed it in an <iframe> element according to those site's protocols.

If you are trying to embed a video directly from Imgur, it won't work here. However, there is a jpeg preview for that video you could use by changing the .mp4 to .jpg in that link.
