    Hi,
    I love your editor in bbPress!
    What I notice is, that a YouTube link is nicely embedded in a forum post.
    It doesn’t require the full embed code.

    But it doesn’t work for screencast-o-matic videos. Not as a link, nor with the embed code.

    Is there anything you can do about it?

    Hi there,

    I’d love to take credit for the editor, but it’s just the bog-standard WordPress one; this plugin just switches it on fully for forum posts 🙂

    In terms of the automatic embedding, this is also a WordPress built-in feature for certain commonly-used services like YouTube that support a standard called oEmbed. You can find out more info here:

    If screencast-o-matic supports oEmbed, you can add a little bit of code to your theme to enable automatic embedding for its video links; details on this are towards the bottom of the page just mentioned.

    Hope this is helpful!

    Thx @fliz

    The list of oembed services doesn’t mention Screencast-o-matic so I wil have to do this…

    Adding Support For A Non-oEmbed Site
    You’ll need to register a handler using

    wp_embed_register_handler() and provide a callback function that generates the HTML.

    Not really my cup of tea, I’m afrad.
