Wazeopedia supports using embed external media from different sources including videos, slide decks, documents, etc.
How do I use the embed?
The embed feature works only for supported sources. These source, right now are the following:
YouTube
Waze LiveMap
Google Docs - published & editing mode
Google Slides - published & editing mode
Google Sheets - published & editing mode
Google Forms (only published)
Any web address from these sources pasted in the editor (both source editor and visual editor) will be embedded in the item.
example
Pasting YouTube URLs will produce embedded video:
Code:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPpZNzXqId0&vl=en
Output
How to embed a YouTube video in an article?
Pasting YouTube URLs will embed the video in the page. This will work either in the short version (youtu.be/...) or the long version of the addresses:
Copy the full URL from the address bar in your browser
Go to the page you want to embed the video in.
Click the editing link (either 'edit' or 'edit source')
Paste the URL
If you are using the visual editor (if you have clicked 'edit' above) than you will see a preview. If using the source editor, then you can click 'preview' button to see how it will look like.
Don't forget to save.
Deleting the embedded media
Removing an embedded media can be done with the use of keyboard keys or by mouse. Enter editing mode in the requested page, then:
Mouse: click the embedded media preview, and in the dialog box opened click 'delete'. Then save the page.
Keyboard: navigate to the section with the use of arrow keys and when standing on the media press the delete key.
If you are using the source/code editor you can just delete the URL from the source and the media will not be shown.
Changing the source of the embed
You can replace the source of the embedded media by clicking the media while in editing state, and in the dialog box changing the URL to the requested one.
Can I change the layout of the embedded media?
You cannot change the embed parameters (width, height, etc.). This is done in order to provide standardisation upon different communities and items in Wazeopedia.
However, I a specific item needs a unique solution this can be done by nesting the embed in an HTML div container with the specific layout attributes. If you need help contact your community team on Waze.
My media source is not supported. What should i do?
We can add more sources to the enabled external sources. Please contact the community team in Waze.
