How to embed media (+ supported media types)

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.

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?

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.

@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. 

Thank you for your reply, @Sudhanshu. I submitted this idea a few days ago: 

What about support for Synthesia to embed video content?

Just checking is this embed feature still working? I am embedding an iframe html from Brightcove, using “embed media” however, I get “url not recognized” It seems to require a URL vs an iFrame. Let me know. thanks also ​@olimarrio 

Hi ​@Thomas Deely 👋,

Yes this feature should still be working. When embedding supported media into the text editor, you only need the URL.

So in your case something like https://players.vidyard.net/{id}

If you wanted to add this video to a custom HTML widget, rather than the text editor in a topic or reply, you would then need to include the HTML and use an iframe to embed this.

when I embed this video, it doesn’t resolve.

​@Thomas Deely can you please let me know what steps you are taking to embed this video into a topic / reply? I was able to embed the video with the link you provided.

Hi Ollie, it was pasting the url into the article in draft mode. I just tried now and it’s working now…! I will reach out if this happens again. thanks
