I want the ability to embed Tweets, Instagram posts and Facebook videos.

Postby Netherrealmer » 15 Aug 2021, 10:38

Embedding Youtube videos had been very helpful to threads and articles. Some forums and writing sites also have the feature of being able to embed facebook videos, Instagram posts and Tweets. If I screencap a controversial tweet from a celebrity, People will not believe me they tweeted it but if its an embed from their official account.

I think the embed feature from other platforms aside from Youtube will attract zoomers and millennials here. Look how useful a Tweet embed is to this article:

With tweet embed we can quote famous people directly from them.
If there is a controversial topic, We can embed opinions of other people as reference.

It may also improve the chances we can be found in google search. I believe ability to embed tweets and Instagram post will be useful. It can explore a diverse range of topics from entertainment, politics to technology.

Why not just use a screenshot to embed Tweets or other posting medium?

There are people who question the credibility of the Internet, period, but that does not make it true. :crazy:
If you want to provide credibility, just include a link so they can go see it on Twitter.

I have tied it out and had to tweak it slightly but I have it working. You need to provide a URL in the following format.
Code: Select all
[instagram]https://www.instagram.com/p/CSrm3LvH0Ue/[/instagram]


Example


Still looking into Facebook videos

The issue with the Twitter embed is the / at the end. Instagram seems to by default have the / at the end of the URL but Twitter doesn't.

That is so weird. You can see it but I can't.
See my screenshot. That blank space is where my embedded tweet should be. That's what I see. :crazy:
I can see my Instagram post but I can not see my tweet. :?:

MY BAD! MY BAD! MY BAD!!

My browser had Enhanced Tracking Protection On. When I turned it off I could see it!
I keep forgetting that my Firefox browser automatically blocks certain content and I have manually turn off the tracker.

@Fergal, what you are seeing is the Tweet loading but not all the scripts that also need loading to display the tweet. Initially on a page load it may look like that for a second or 2 before the scripts are loaded but it should literally be a few seconds max. If it is longer than that it could be something blocking the scripts. Anything that blocks JS, adblockers or trackers can cause issues.
