All good things must come to an end.
Today, we’re retired our “Youtube” embed component from our Liberal Democrat Foci system, which allowed you to embed video (with a bit of difficulty, we will admit) into that website. Sad times.
Happily, “coincidentally” also today, we’ve launched a new component that will allow you to embed any OEmbed content in your site. That content includes videos from YouTube, but also content from Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, Meetup, Reddit, Slideshare, Soundcloud, Twitter, Tumblr, Vimeo, Vine, WordPress, Daily Motion… That list goes on and on, and we think its a BIG step forward!
We’ve tested the new OEmbed functionality in Firefox, Chrome, Edge, IE9-11 & Safari – all seems to work as hoped, but let us know if there are any issues.
Also, if there are other sites that allow you to embed their content in your site that you’d like to use, let us know: we’ll happily add it to the list we support!
Any questions on using the new function (which should be on the editor bar for any content in your site management area) come and see us on stand CZ2 in the 1st floor exhibition area at Lib Dem Brighton conference before 3.30pm on Tuesday or drop us a line!
