How do we embed social media posts?

Sigh.  I'm sure this has been asked before, but i can't figure out how to embed instagram posts and tweets in my posts.  Can someone help me out here?

Thanks.

First off, what are you doing it with (browser, if it's a pc or phone or mobile)

 

I usually use chrome, I can just paste it in and for the most part it just goes.  So on twitter, I just click "copy link to tweet" and paste it here.

I don't use IG much, but in the past I click on a pic and then copy the web address for the pic and paste it in.

I'll just add, make sure you use Paste As Plain Text.  The board is good about taking care of things from there.

Facebook tends to be wonky and some things will embed and some won't.

As Ray mentioned - Twitter and Instagram are fairly straightforward - just posting the link in the post usually works 95% of the time.

I use Chrome, it just automatically embeds if you post the entire URL of the tweet. See:

Instragram is the same:

I hope GIFing the board to post on the board isn't too trippy.

Hmmm.... I thought I was doing it right before, but it wasn't working.  Is working correctly now however.  Thanks.
