Paid vs free. If the channel paid for Livestream pro/premium/whatever-they-call-it, then it will embed the video itself. But if it's a free channel (which most of the FRC events that used it were) it embeds a webpage with a button that loads the channel in a new window/tab.

I was the one that implemented it in TBA. Unless I missed something, there's no way to get around it. The channels I used to test the functionality were local news stations, and it loaded the video right on the site. But once Dallas' regional (I believe) rolled around, it ended up with a message about the event being live and having to "Click Here" to actually play the event.
