Adding media embeds

We have optimised the editor to detect media links that can be embedded without needing to paste in html snippets. This means you can paste in a valid link, and the content preview will appear in the editor. Unsupported links will just be pasted as links. Currently, we support:
  • YouTube
  • Spotify
  • Bandcamp
And plan future support for:
  • SoundCloud
  • Instagram
  • Twitter (X)
If you need a different type of embed, please get in touch, and we will do our best to help. For specific implementation notes, please see below.

​
YouTube

The easiest way to get a YouTube embed is to copy and paste the URL from the browser. Supported link formats, with examples:

​
Spotify

To share a Spotify player, we need the unique shareable Spotify link - NOT the embed option. The link should look something like this: https://open.spotify.com/album/3zMMu5oaIJjtjbfIAG56fZ Supported link formats, with examples: Embed customisations (colour, etc) are not currently supported.

​
Bandcamp

Embeds from Bandcamp are a little tricky, but we have created a workaround using the shareable WordPress codes. To find the correct code, please follow these steps. Find the track or album you want to embed
  • Click on the share/embed button and select standard player with small artwork
  • Under embed code, choose wordpress.com
  • Copy and paste the shortcode - it should look something like this: [bandcamp width=100% height=120 track=467870541 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]
  • Track: [bandcamp width=100% height=120 track=467870541 size=large bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]
  • Album: [bandcamp width=100% height=120 album=2776732073 size=large - bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 tracklist=false artwork=small]
Embed customisations (colour etc) are not currently supported.
