How to add multimedia to your stories

Add almost any multimedia, like links, videos, audio files, tweets and more, to your stories.


How to embed multimedia into your story

Whenever you wish to insert in-line multimedia to your stories, all you have to do is click on the small but mighty green [+] menu and search for the multimedia type you want to embed.

Alternatively, simply type / (slash) on a new line followed by the type of multimedia you want to embed, e.g. /image, and hit enter.

Use the green [+] button to select an embed type from the dropdown, or simply type "/" (slash) on a new line followed by the thing you want to embed, e.g. "/image", and hit enter. Easy peasy.

To upload content, such as images or attachments, from your local computer, use the green [+] menu or simply drag-and-drop the file into the story editor.

To add a hyperlink to an image in your story:

Click on an embedded image to open the image settings menu.

When adding links to images in the Story Editor, add http:// or https:// before the link to be extra sure that it links properly.


Why can't I see the embed options?

The embed feature, including the service specific embed options, are not available for Prezly users who are still on one of our legacy plans.

If you would like to have access to the embed feature, please upgrade your Prezly account to one of the pricing plans that we offer today (as seen on our website).
