Iframely

What is IFramely?

Iframely is a service that provides a consistent way to deliver rich media embeds. It supports over 1,900 different services, allowing content to be easily embedded within the editor simply by pasting a link.

While Invision Community already supports many oEmbed providers, some platforms either do not use this standard or require a more complex setup process, such as Meta services like Facebook and Instagram.

Iframely helps remove this complexity by enabling embeds from these services without the need to create a Meta app or go through an approval process, making it much easier to include rich external content in your community.

Setting Up

In order to set up Iframely you need to obtain an Iframely Client Key Hash from them, at the following site.
