Hi,

I just read an old post that EasySocial was using oembed for videos. I tried adding a twitch video and i just get the title/description without any video.

Twitch is listed on the oembed website so it should work right?

Thank you.
Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Yes, but we need to use PHP code to convert this Twitch oembed data to HTML in order to populate the video in Easysocial, so far based on what i see their video page source, it seems like Twitch video do not have support oembed yet, if you compare with YouTube video page source, it will render oembed type type="application/json+oembed", mean we can able to support this.

You can check my attached screenshot below what oembed data i referring to.

Hi,

Twitch is really popular, is there a chance EasySocial code something to convert Twitch Videos in future release?

Thank you!
