WordPress Embed Lists

List of sites you can embed from

Since WordPress 5.0, the WordPress block editor has an easy way to add videos, images, tweets, audio, and other content from third-party services into your WordPress site by embedding. An example of this is embedding a YouTube video in your post or page.

When you are embedding content, you don’t need to upload the content to your WordPress site. You are creating a link to the content, from within your post or page.

Using the generic Embed Block, you can paste the URL from the third-party site that you want to embed the content such as YouTube, Vimeo, TED, etc on your post or page.

WordPress can embed content from the services listed below:

• Facebook and Instagram: Due to Facebook’s decision to close the oEmbed end point for embedding Facebook and Instagram links, the block will not work anymore after October 24, 2020. To embed Facebook and Instagram links into your site, you need a developer account and an appid, and provide an authentication token with their call to the endpoint. Refer to the Facebook Documentation.
• Tumblr – only posts (name.tumblr.com/post/etc) are recognized, not standalone images (name.tumblr.com/image)
• Twitter – older versions of WordPress have issues with https embeds. Remove the ‘s’ from the https to fix the issue.
• YouTube – only public and “unlisted” videos and playlists can be embedded. “private” videos cannot be embedded.
