What can I embed in my story?

  • Instagram posts / Instagram TV

  • Threads

  • X Posts

  • Facebook posts

  • TikTok videos

  • Truth Social

  • Bluesky

  • Giphy embeds

  • YouTube videos

  • Brightcove videos

  • Dailymotion videos

  • Vimeo videos

  • Pinterest boards, pins, and profiles

  • Spotify songs, tracks, podcasts, and playlists

There are two ways to embed third party assets into your story in Copilot's rich text editor: you can paste a URL directly into the body field or use the toolbar—accessed from the Plus (+) button—to paste an embed code.

Option 1: Paste URLs

With the rich text editor, you can paste the third party post directly into the editor using the post's URL or Embed Code. As soon as the link is pasted, the post or media will automatically appear. 

Please note: this option will not work for Bluesky posts. Bluesky does not support this method of embedding. Please refer to option 2 below on how to embed Bluesky posts using the embed code.

Option 2: Use the toolbar accessed from the 'Plus' button

Here you can once again embed via a URL or you can paste in Embed Code.

When you paste in an embed code, you will then be able to see what type of embed it is.


For video embeds, you will be able to select the aspect ratio you would like. 

Note: Too many social media embeds can actually slow down the page and make for a bad user experience. Try to be minimal with embedded content.
