Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when visiting YouTube proper. When I have to watch a video on YouTube due to Invidious being unavailable, I prefer the embed page since it loads faster and shows no popups, comments, or other clutter.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a YouTube embed link to the video error page, like so (suggested enhancement in bold):

Error while communicating with Invidious companion: Read timed out

After which you should try to:

  • Refresh
  • Switch Invidious Instance
  • Go to YouTube (Embed)

Describe alternatives you've considered

The user manually edits the URL in the address bar to be of an embed before YouTube finishes loading.
