 TikTok has image-based carousel embeds now. The URL looks like
 https://www.tiktok.com/@itsklarissat/photo/7614533377500138782

 When trying to embed this URL it will throw an error

 If you replace "photo" with "video" in the URL like:
 https://www.tiktok.com/@itsklarissat/video/7614533377500138782

 It will embed correctly

 It looks like the oembed regex is:

 {{{
 '#https?://(www\.)?tiktok\.com/.*/video/.*#i'  => array(
 'https://www.tiktok.com/oembed', true ),
 }}}

 A second regex to match the photo URL could be added or it could be
 updated like
 {{{
 '#https?://(www\.)?tiktok\.com/.*/(?:video|photo)/.*#i'  => array(
 'https://www.tiktok.com/oembed', true ),
 }}}

 An alternate solution might be a more generic match, which could account
 for other URL formats they may add in the future.
 {{{
 '#https?://(www\.)?tiktok\.com/.*/[^/]+/.*#i'  => array(
 'https://www.tiktok.com/oembed', true ),
 }}}


 I tested this with WordPress 6.9.4 on Twenty TwentyFive and no plugins.
