Hi all,

Currently, we support iframe video embeds from YouTube, as Alex noted, and Vimeo. However, we've received requests to support other services as well, such as Bandcamp and Wistia. I'm doing a bit of research and I'm wondering if there are any other video services you use frequently and would like to be able to embed using an iframe in a discussion, for example. 

Vladimir is right that some iframes, like Bandcamp, will work in a Main Page text box or on a page, but not in the forum or Blogs area of your network. 

What other video services do you use frequently? 

Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks,

Glad to hear you are doing research on embedding for Wistia!  I have dozens of videos hosted Wistia that I would like to post on my Ning sites.

Don't know if it's common, but I've tried and been unsuccessful embedding videos into pages from sliderocket and dolectures.com

Hello Aaron,

I know this is more than a year later but I'm actually trying to embed videos from SocialCam onto my site and they don't appear.  Anyway to fix this?  Here's the code:

<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="357px" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://socialcam.com/videos/nfPd41ni/embed?utm_campaign=web&amp;utm_source=embed" width="475px"></iframe>
