XF 2.1 Can I embed a Loom video in a post?

[rockstarmind]

Hey guys,

I want to be able to send a quick video to my members and Loom has been the quickest method for achieving this. I would love to be able to embed the video into a Xenforo post.

Is this possible?

Here is what the embed code looks like:

<div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0;"><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/RANDOM STRING OF NUMBERS" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></div>

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Steve

I noticed something about BB code media sites....I'm wondering if something like that would work.

Yes, you can create a media bb code site entry for it, as long as it has an ID which can be extracted from the URL.

Thanks Brogan!

I'm having trouble with it though....where am I going wrong? I'm getting an error when trying to embed.

 

[rockstarmind]

I think I figured it out! Not sure exactly what I did, but it works now. Thanks @Brogan

@Chris D and @Brogan - this was working perfectly until today:



I would paste the link and then the Loom video would appear.

Now I get this:



Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks and talk soon,

Did anyone get this working?

It's working fine for me after adding a new BB code media site with the following settings

Media site ID
loom

Site title
Loom

Site URL
https://www.loom.com

Match URLs
loom.com/share/{$id}

Embed template

<div class="bbMediaWrapper" data-media-site-id="{$siteId}" data-media-key="{$id}">
    <div class="bbMediaWrapper-inner">
        <iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/{$id}?hide_owner=true&hide_share=true&hide_title=true&hideEmbedTopBar=true"></iframe>
    </div>
</div>

Man, I've tried all these options on 2.2.13 and can't get it to work. I can stick the embed code they provide on any external page and it works fine.

NO DOUBT I am doing something stuuuupid!
