What are Rich Embeds?
Rich Editor supports embedding of external content within posts. Use the embed menu to transform a link into a rich content embed.
Alternatively, pressing enter at the of a line containing only a link also attempt to create an embed from that link.
While we fetch the data for the embedded content, the link appears as a link with a loading indicator.
Once the embed is ready it will display in its' final form directly in the editor.
Quotes
If you embed a link from the same forum, or click on the “Quote” button, an embedded version of that content will be embedded in your post.
If the content is too long, an expand and collapse menu will be shown for that Rich Quote.
Links
Rich Editor offers a beautiful link embed. It fetches titles, descriptions, and images from the linked URL and displays them in a sleek modern view.
Twitter
Twitter links get transformed into embedded tweets.
Videos
Videos appear as a fast, responsive thumbnail, with the full video loading on when the play button is clicked. Rich Editor currently supports:
SoundCloud

In additional to these types of embedded content, Rich Editor currently supports:
- Giphy
- Instagram

What causes the warning icon while inserting a Rich Embed?
Some users using browsers with strict privacy settings or adblockers may not be able to load a Rich Embed from certain sites in their browser. The warning icon indicates that all the data necessary to render the embed is present in the editor, but the user’s browser is not allowing the embed to be created.
These embeds will be still be able to load for users with a more permissive browser, even on the same post.
