Images and videos are not embedded in comments.

[julsyd]

On WP.com simple sites, users can share a link to an image or YouTube video in a comment and the embedded image/video will appear in the published comment. This functionality is lost when a site goes AT.

I would recommend following the instructions here to allow commenters to use shortcodes in comments:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/jetpack-shotcodes-in-comments-videos/#post-6290792

Embedding images, however, is a bit more complicated as it would mean allowing visitors to upload images to the site. See #143 for a similar request.
A work-around would be to use the Embed shortcode after doing the above.

Reported via https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tweet-embed-in-post-comment/, Tweets also don't auto-embed in comments. The shortcode workaround doesn't appear to work, though - neither the [tweet] shortcode nor the [embed] shortcode causes the tweet to be embedded - instead it just causes a blank comment to appear.

instead it just causes a blank comment to appear.

At this point, I would recommend checking for JS errors on the page to find out more.

The shortcodes don't work for me on a test site. Console doesn't show any errors: https://coresandbox.mystagingwebsite.com/2018/10/162/

(First blank comment uses the tweet shortcode, and second uses embed.)

Do you experience the same issue when deactivating the Shortcodes embed and the Comments module, and then trying to publish a new comment?

If I disable Jetpack comments and Jetpack shortcode embeds, and also remove the code snippets from your forum thread, I see this:

With that custom code added, but the Jetpack modules disabled, I see:

the [tweet] shortcode won't work here without any modifications, since Jetpack does not bring the shortcode to comments. We've only done that for vimeo and youtube shortcodes.

On WordPress.com, however, it seems we've added support to many more shortcodes. I'll reopen this issue so we can see about bringing this to Jetpack. See r130915-wpcom for more info.
