Embed YouTube video in Sway

Anonymous

The available Sway literature from Microsoft says that YouTube is a supported site for embedding. I open an <imbed> card within sway and paste the embed code from a YouTube video--https://youtu.be/bJjW3LXuHzo. I get the message that Sway currently supports only iframe based embeds. I believe that YouTube uses iframe. Am I doing something wrong, or is Sway still a "work in progress" in this context? Thanks.

    Hi Val,

    We do support embedding YouTube videos, but it needs to be in an iframe format.  To get that, go to the link for your video, click Share and then click Embed and you'll see something like this:

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bJjW3LXuHzo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    If you paste this into the embed card, you should get what you want.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    The embed card not currently available in the iOS app (although it will show the embedded content properly once it is in your Sway).  You can add it to your Sway via the website or the Windows 10 app.
