Restore video from URL media option

For some unexplained reason the Video from URL option has been removed from InDesign 2020. This needs to be restored ASAP as there are people using this feature.

Moveover, it needs a minor improvement to allow HTTPS links (https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/37474690-place-a-video-from-a-url-with-https).

It was a big mistake to not query the community before removing this and it should be a simple thing to restore.

    I'm not able to select this feature. It appears in the media tab but I can't actually click it. It's soft gray, like the option can't be chosen. Can someone help me with this?

    Now it works only in an interactive PDF, if I remember well it worked also with Fixed Layout EPUB.

    How is it even possible that this isn't fixed yet? Is there any way to do this without the button? I have only one week to my deadline left which I need this function asap.

    Please restore ASAP! Not only have I lost time searching for this Globe button, but my client was expecting this to be possible due to previous capability!!!

    WE NEED IT BACK NOW!!!

    This is a very important fitsure that we use in many places. Without it we have to re-invent a lot of solutions.
    Please restore this function or we have to re-invent a lot of solutions.

    The way Adobe acts with users is just disconcerting. Removing a fonctionnality without querying users shows us how Adobe treats their clients. Could you imagine the impact on our own client discovering that a fonctionality they paid for isn't working anymore. I guess not… After Edge animate, after Muse, after this Indesign's functionality, what's next ? How is it possible to trust a tool which, may be- may be not , disappear on the day after.

    I agree with every comment below (and probably every one that comes in after mine).
