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.

    “Place Video from URL” option has been restored in the latest InDesign update – version 15.1.
Please update InDesign to use the feature.

 commentedAdobe, kindly reinstate this feature, with Justin's suggested improvement. I also suggest you include Justin (and members of these forums) in any such future decisions. That would help you reduce the chances of making such an obvious error of judgement in the future. Justin - thankyou for pointing this out to us.

 commentedThis is a huge loss for all of us using In5. Please, you need to restore this feature and as soon as possible. 
 It has a HUGE influence of titles we are busy working on that need this feature.
