choose the right one, I will adjust.
If there is an opportunity also option to toggle iframe, because in general it is needed, but in some cases it would be nice if it could be turned off, for example: for img that connects to the background.
Thanks.

.webm is basically the best video format for anything uploaded to the web. It's royalty free (kinda like the FOSS version of non-code stuff), has wide support and great compression while keeping max quality.
For anything you torrent or edit locally, .mkv (Matroska) is the best since it supports a ton of extra features (as a basic example, subtitles), but it's probably overkill and will give larger file sizes for the wiki

hmm, maybe to completely avoid generating unnecessary mb, add to video player option to link source from some web hosts.

These are just containers, the video codec is mostly what drives file size. WebM was designed for cross platform, free, and web friendly content so it only supports VP8/VP9/AV1.
VP9 is probably the best codec choice for encoding videos for online use at the moment, it's open source, royalty free and has equivalent efficiency to HEVC.
AV1 will be the ideal standard in the next few years as hardware support improves.

Embedding content means we will lose it when the host deletes it, or it goes down. As an archival project it's probably better that we hang on to the content if reasonable to do so.
