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:

  • Archade.software
  • Blip.tv
  • BlueWillyWig
  • Brightcove
  • Canva
  • CodePen
  • CollegeHumor
  • Daily Motion
  • Deezer
  • Figma
  • Funnyordie
  • Giphy
  • iorad
  • Hulu

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/)

    I realized the post only mentions articles to have embedded media. Will it also be live in comments on posts? Or is it exclusively for articles?

    Nice Julian! Good to know. I just wanted to make sure before I made a fool of myself on our community by asking for people to share their playlists to have the users unable to use that feature.

    Thanks for sharing your question. There are no restrictions with this, the only area where embedding media does not work is within private messages.

    I have updated the original post, so that it is more generic and does not give the impression that this is exclusively for the article content type.

    Hey team — would it be too difficult to have Zngly on the list?

    @mcooksey I had to contact Gainsight as they had to enable it on the backend as we had some old settings on our community that got in the way of content embedding correctly. Might we worth pinging them to see if it is the same issue on your site?

    Hey team - I went to edit my my community post so I could edit the embedded video media content from Loom as I update the title of the Loom video but it doesn’t let me delete or edit the link - am I missing something?

    Hi @choraria 👋,

    I’ll feed this back internally to our Product team but I’d also advise creating an idea so that other community members can vote on it.

    Hi @kathleenkenny23 👋,

    It may depend on your edit permissions that are associated with the user role of your profile. Let me know what you are looking to edit and I’ll be happy to help!

    @JayS We are not planning to expand the media list. Could you please post this as an idea? Meanwhile, we will also look into it and see how complex it is to expand the list.

    Hello All,

    Are there plans to expand the supported media list? The two I’m specifically looking for today are tourial.com and highspot.com

    Thank you.
