Sharing video content: Link to Self hosted video vs Uploading video to native platforms

👋 Hey marketers. Curious to hear what you think about the decision of whether to self host your video on your domain and link to that page through social VS copying the content to social platforms like YT, FB LinkedIn (don't know the abbreviation for that one)...

One of the beauties of self hosting is it attributes backlinks, social shares etc directly to your domain, v valuable. Butttt if more people would watch if it just played inline / natively... what's the increased value of that? What are some opinions?

Follow up Q: Open Graph have OG:Video FB Docs mention:

Use a secure URL for both the og:video:url and og:video:secure_url tags to make your video eligible to play in-line in News Feed.

But also mentioned it's not guaranteed to play inline based on a "number of factors". Has anyone experience with this?
