Why textarea doesnt support iframe embed?

Question

I have a textarea input, When I put iframe inside it i get the same thing

example: I put this code

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-0uBK0T298k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I get the same thing in my page

Any solution?

To be clear, you want the iframe to render inside your textarea? — milo526, Aug 16 '17 at 19:05

You cannot render HTML inside a textarea tag. You could use a content editable div.
