Using Embed Codes
You can also include content from social media services by inserting embed codes in an entry. You can insert embed codes in any rich text field (that is, any field that displays a formatting palette). To insert an embed code, select the < > button near the right hand end of the formatting palette:
A dialog containing a single URL field is then displayed:
Enter the URL of the social media content you want to include in your entry. For a YouTube video, for example, you might enter something like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVwAodrjZMY
To insert the code, click on OK. The video then appears in your entry.
You can include several social media items in a single entry if you wish, along with your own content.
Note that all you need to enter in the URL field is the URL of the required content. You do not need to get any special embed code from the social media site - the required code is constructed by Live Center's embed code function.
The delivered system includes full support for the following social media services:
-
YouTube
-
Vimeo
-
Instagram
-
Vine
-
Twitter
However, many other sites are also supported via an open standard for embedding called Oembed. There is a list of Oembed providers here. You should be able to embed content from any of the sites in this list.
For information about how to add full embed code support for additional sites and services, see Embedding External Content.
