would it be very complicated to add this feature?

with this it would be more easy to create a simple "videos" section

where the users will just have to paste the link of a video and cobalt will

retrieve video title (and maybe use it as record title) as well as video description

I know actual video field purpose is to help insert videos into articles, but if I want to use it for a "videos" section I will ahve to ask to each user to type video title and description too... even if they could probably be retrieved automatically

Hmm...., right now this is what video field is doing. You only insert link and it creates video player. About title it should be already part of the player. For example vimeo or youtube.

You can see that title is already there.

To retrive description is more complex task but possible if you know where you retrive it from.

Anyway we cannot add this to field but there are video links adapters in the field. You can use them to retrive whatever. You can add your own adapter and it may retrive descriptions as well.
