Embeds

Putting videos and social posts inside a story, safely.

In the story editor, Embed video or post takes a link. What happens next depends on where it's from:

• YouTube — becomes a player, using YouTube's privacy-enhanced address, loaded only when the reader scrolls to it.
• X, Instagram, Facebook — become a card linking to the post.
• Anything else — stays a plain link.

Why so careful#

An embed runs another site's code inside your page. Keeping to a short list is what stops a pasted link from becoming a way to put anything onto your readers' screens.
