Cannot embed Instagram posts

Hello,

We've noticed a problem with our Embedded media slice, where the URL field no longer accepts Instagram URLs. The URL doesn't get saved when you save the document, however it does save if you enter a different website, such as Twitter. We haven't made any changes here, and have Instagram posts embedded on other pages (it just doesn't work when creating a new page), so we're not sure what the issues is.

Here's our slice:

"embedded_video" : {
            "type" : "Slice",
            "fieldset" : "Embedded Video",
            "description" : "*Not just videos, all embedded content*",
            "icon" : "video_library",
            "display" : "list",
            "non-repeat" : {
              "video_link" : {
                "type" : "Embed",
                "config" : {
                  "label" : "Video Link",
                  "placeholder" : "Paste a URL"
                }
              }
            },
            "repeat" : { }
          }

Any thoughts greatly received!

Hi Maris,

Welcome to the Prismic community,

I've been able to reproduce this issue (can embed Instagram videos).

Hi, this issue has come up again for us (same repo).

We have updated the slice to include another field but I don't think that the bug coincides with that being added:

          "embedded_video" : {
            "type" : "Slice",
            "fieldset" : "Embedded Video",
            "description" : "*Not just videos, all embedded content*",
            "icon" : "video_library",
            "display" : "list",
            "non-repeat" : {
              "video_link" : {
                "type" : "Embed",
                "config" : {
                  "label" : "Video Link",
                  "placeholder" : "Paste a URL"
                }
              },
              "add_video_object_structured_data" : {
                "type" : "Boolean",
                "config" : {
                  "default_value" : false,
                  "label" : "Add Video Object Structured Data"
                }
              }
            },

Existing instagram embeds continue to be displayed but, as with before, new links don't work and won't save.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @mfisher , this issue has now been fixed. Could you please try embedding an Instagram link and let me know how you get on?

Cheers,
Guy
