Announcing the New VideoSift Embed Widget

We've just created a nifty VideoSift widget that allows you to embed videos on your external website or blog. It includes a vote button as well as a short comment listing along with the video. It's enabled now for most all pages when you click the embed link for a video. Here's an example:



Options include:
  • Specify the desired video width
  • Optionally include a listing of a desired number of comments
  • Start minimized as a thumbnail
We've developed it for and tested it successfully on all modern browsers, but if you have any issues with it, don't hesitate to let us know!



Update: You can now use the VideoSift embed widget in your comments on VideoSift.

>> ^Krupo:

Is for Sift blogs only? Tried it at www.krupo.ca and had no luck, so I went with more YT link. Hmm?


Yes, it's definitely for external sites (and primarily so). I've made some tweaks after finding a small bug that might have been causing the issue.

Please try again and if it doesn't work, provide the script tag that you're trying with as well as a link to the page at krupo.ca on which you're using it.

Thanks for trying it out and helping us work out the kinks!

yeah and is there any sure-fire way to allow an embed by extracting the bullshit from it that will not allow it to be embedded on the VS?? Particularly archive.org-the way-back machine
