What is the proper way to bring the photo or video directly into the post instead of just the link?

For video use tags.

For photos, you can either upload them from a file, or find a link to an image and use
tags.

I use the "short cut" (toolbar?) symbols - the two appearing before the quotation short cut are for photo and video respectively. When I use the video short cut (from my iPad) it changes the "www." to an "m." in the video's URL which I must (manually) correct for it to appear properly.

Picture (image) example:
