Iframely video thumbnail doesn't load on posting

I tried fixing this issue in the past without much success. I have Iframely set up for my test site. I post an example video from YouTube. When the update posts, the video thumbnail won't load unless you click the three dots on the bottom right to inadvertently trigger a load within the post window. I have attached a step-by-step series of screenshots. Does anyone know how to get the video thumbnail to load as soon as the update is posted?

      I just made an important discovery related to this issue. If you attach a YouTube link with iFramely turned on in a Discussions post, the video shows up right away on posting. This means the Discussions module handles online video posting differently than the Timeline.

        I have finally come up with a solution to this problem which has always existed when using the iFramely option. I edited embed_iframely_integration.html and added the following JavaScript (first line was already in there):

        iframely.load();
setTimeout(function() {
  iframely.load();
}, 0);

        Once the post lands on the timeline, this just refreshes the video embed so it shows right away.
