To include a live link, a picture, or embed a video

Post: # 5Post admin »

To include a live link (URL) to web site or document, place the cursor where the link is to appear. Press the link button (directly above the writing area, looks like two chain links), type or paste the URL, and, optionally, Display text, and select OK.

To include a photo, place the cursor where the photo is to appear. Press the image button (directly above the writing area, looks like two mountains), type or paste the URL, and select OK.

To embed a video or a tweet, place the cursor where the video is to appear. Type or paste the URL directly in the writing area.  Do not use the link button (the button that looks like two chain links).

--------------------------------------------

Videos from most popular sites, such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Metacafe, can be embedded as described above.  If a video from some other site cannot be embedded, then the link to the video can be included instead.  In this case, the link button is used to create a live URL that can be clicked on.

Also:

Rumble embedding is not supported, which means the video is not directly visible in a post.

But simply inserting a plain text link will convert to a live link which shows does show the video on a Rumble page.

For those willing to go to additional effort, on the Rumble page, click on the Embed button under the video, than copy the contents of Embed IFRAME URL.  Post that here, and the live link opens a full screen video.
