Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 12, 20231 yr I can no longer find the page that lists all supported embed in invision community. I tried pasting an instagram link to a video but that doesn't work. I was able to paste the embed as HTML but is there no support for instagram embed? Thanks.
May 12, 20231 yr Author Oh ok thanks! Unfortunately I cannot find the oEmbed product in my Facebook App? Here are the only choices listed:
May 12, 20231 yr It would be instagram basic display. Unfortunately facebook change the API constantly.
May 12, 20231 yr Author Thank you Marc. Facebook is asking for the following information, what should I put in there?
May 12, 20231 yr Something doesnt seem right there. That looks to be for login. I would need to take a look at this, and see if things have changed
May 12, 20231 yr Author Thank you! When I try to submit, the "Deauthorize" field requires to be filled first.
May 12, 20231 yr Last I tried Instagram videos would embed but Facebook videos wouldn't. As of March 2023, the devs were still looking into the issue:
May 15, 20231 yr This may well still be the case. Facebook has become more and more a problem lately, unfortunately.
February 13Feb 13 Hi all, has anyone gotten Instagram embeds to work? ChatGPT and Meta documentation has me going in circles.
February 14Feb 14 They are not likely to work, unfortunately. Facebook seems to make it harder and harder to integrate with them
February 14Feb 14 I think they require a business account verification for embeds to work now? I've given up on anything FB-related years ago. 🙄

February 14Feb 14 Yea it's all around pretty confusing. But I do feel like it's possible. My community used to have it working (last year), but it stopped and I didn't keep up with the updates.I've seen on other platforms like Reddit, or different online communities have IG embeds working, so there has to be a way. I'll try and dive deeper to see if we can get some answers, and if anyone wants to do the same keep me posted.
February 26Feb 26 I had this working in my 2.3 site last week, is there an extension point in the 5.0.3 JS I can look at? Confirmed not working in 5.0.3 Edited February 26Feb 26 by Philip_B

February 27Feb 27 Thanks is there an oEmbed config somewhere to lookup different providers? Any wiki or code I can read would be useful.
February 27Feb 27 Most oembed providers will automatically embed. The difference here is that facebook requires their api to be set up

I think it's possible since I see IG embeds on other sites, but I've been going in circles. Maybe two heads are better than one. My community heavily depends on IG embeds showing, so would be great to fix.
