Third-party content

This page will describe how to successfully embed third-party (such as Instagram, Twitter, or Youtube) content into the body of your page via the WYSIWYG Editor.

In the toolbar of the WYSIWYG, you'll find an "Embed" option:

Clicking that will pull up a window with an input field and a list of supported URLs.

Supported URLs include: CollegeHumor, Flickr, Hulu, Instagram, Kickstarter, MixCloud, SoundCloud, Spotify, Twitter, Vimeo, Vine, & YouTube.

Once you paste the URL, you can select "Embed" and view the preview of the thumbnail within the body of the WYSIWYG.

DO NOT PASTE AN EMBED CODE HERE.

Example of Instagram embed

Navigate to the Instagram post you'd like to embed. Copy the URL in the address bar, or select "Copy Link" from the menu:

Paste the URL into the input field in Base, and select "Embed". The Body will update with a thumbnail of the embedded content.

You'll repeat this process for any other external URLs you wish to add, provided it's a supported provider.

If you'd like to embed something outside of the supported provider list, you can do so by manually inserting an iFrame into the Code View of the WYSIWYG. Instructions on how to do that can be found here:

The "Embed URL" function is for embedding URLs only. If you'd like to manually input an embed code using "Code View", you can do so by

following the instructions on this page.
