[Adminsysters] embedding peertube videos

[Helen Varley Jamieson]

i've had some other advice about this issue that suggests it could be 
something to do with the configuration of our peertube instance, because 
now when i click to share any of the videos on our tube, there is no url 
or embed code displayed in the pop-up window.

maybe there are multiple things contributing to the issue, but it does 
seem that we need to do something on the https://tube.systerserver.net/ 
end of things to have that information available again? (it did used to 
be there, that's how i embedded the video in the first place).
