Embed media allows you to embed resources (videos, images, tweets, etc.) hosted by other platforms in your content.

 

Add media to your content

1. Copy embed code from the source you want to embed
2. Click Embed Media icon in the editor
3. Paste the embed code
4. Click Insert

 

Supported media

A lot of media can be embedded in your article from major platforms like:

  • 5min.com
  • Archade.software
  • Blip.tv
  • BlueWillyWig
  • Brightcove
  • Canva
  • CodePen
  • CollegeHumor
  • Daily Motion
  • Deezer
  • Figma
  • Funnyordie
  • Giphy
  • iorad
  • Hulu
  • JSFiddle
  • Livejournal
  • Loom
  • Metacafe
  • Pingvp
  • Qik.com
  • Revision3
  • Scribd.
  • Soundcloud
  • Spotify
  • Storylane
  • Tenor
  • Thedailyshow

  • Viddler.
  • VideoAsk
  • Vidyard
  • Vimeo

Note: When embedding media use the direct browser URL (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxv6IRcuNaI) and not the embedded URL (https://www.youtube.com/embed/Oxv6IRcuNaI - mind the /embed/)

      This is a great feature, thank you!

      For surveys - Typeform works great, would be nice to have the same for Survey Monkey (they give you an embed script option, but I can’t put it directly in the post and I don’t want to fuss with injecting that with some conditions on every single page).

      Important note if you’re trying to embed a Wistia video - use the “Share Link” option, not the “Inline Embed” one. For whatever reason, if you try the “Inline Embed” option, you’ll get a grey image that just gets larger when you click it - using the link actually embeds the content, and folks can play right within the article.

      Hi Cherise!

      Thanks for sharing your challenge with us. I also currently do not see a way do embed this, unfortunately.

      Until now, the editor supports embedding via url for all major video platforms, but not this one. I know that we are looking into some solutions which could make it easier to embed media (e.g. via HTML), however if you only have this url I think we’d have to specifically work on support of this platform.

      Adding in @Yoeri so he does not miss out on this feedback.

      @Julian Is it possible to embed media with code instead of a URL within an article or post? 

       

      I am trying to embed a Loom video, which auto-generate embeddable code. I can’t use the URL because Loom is not a supported platform. 

       

      Here is an example: https://www.loom.com/share/a40b7afd533842ca8972a857dce2c23e

       

      For additional context, we were able to embed this video within our Help Center here: https://help.mixpanel.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004565046

       

      Thanks!

      Hi @Julian - it looks like only I can upload videos in my community - where can I extend this permission to registered users? Thanks

      Hi there, I’m trying to embed a YouTube video and it displays with the preview and actually plays the video in the editor, but when I go to the live page, there’s only a link to the video. Is there a way to have the same functionality within the live article? 

      Thanks, Dasa

      To me it sounds like actually uploading videos as an attachment to a post, and not adding videos from youtube etc., right?

      This setting is to be found under [Settings] - [Attachment permissions] within the Control environment:

      I hope this helps you further?

       

      Damn, it was in front of me all the time and I couldn’t see it. 

       

      Thanks Jules :D

      no problem, always happy to help! :)

       

      Wait… too soon. Now they cannot see the videos but they can upload? Is there some sort of view attachments permissions too?

      Truth is it’s embedding videos to a post, not attaching them - sorry my bad, I should read more carefully.
