Hi,

Does anyone know how to embed a video into a post on the Canvas Community? I embedded two videos via the html editor. In the Rich Content Editor I can see them. But once I post them, there is just a large blank spot where the videos should be. Scroll to the end of this discussion. Please let me know if you have any ideas for them to show up?

snufer‌ stefaniesanders any ideas?

This is what the html looks like...

<ul>
