I’m trying to embed a video from cloud server like Screencast-o-matic and Spotlightr

I have the embed code but the only result I get is the page simply displays the code

Hello,

Please let me know how you added the link. Seems this cannot be embedded https://i.imgur.com/Y42vg5n.png

Thank you
I added the link in the normal way, as with other links i.e. YouTube links
But since YouTube shutdown my channel because they don’t like my content I have had to find other video storage sites. Vimeo also shut down my account so I can’t use them anymore
I’ve used spotlightr.com and screencast-o-matic.com which also provide code for embedding the video. Neither link or embed option from these video storages works with Newspaper.

Is there a more flexible video plugin I could use in Newspaper?

Hello,

Please try to use this embed code https://i.imgur.com/KUCXSse.png -> https://screencast-o-matic.com/blog/tutorial/embed-video-code/ and set it in the post.
Please let me know the results.

Thank you!

So, Newspaper can’t embed the following?
https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c3jn0QVZzoT

If not, mot much use I’m afraid.. šŸ™

OK I have resolved it.
Wordpress org hasn’t listed my video host on their service called oEmbed to “pull” the media from the page of the link I provide.
I’ve installed a plugin from Spotlightr.com that allows me to successfully use the html block
I’ve been using wordpress for 25 yrs almost and WordPress.org are always a little behind on things.. They haven’t yet listed screencast-o-matic either.

Hello,

I’m glad you resolved the problem.

Have a great day!
