I remember that Instagram link previews used to be visible on the forum, but now I can’t seem to see them anymore.
Has something changed, or is there a new way to view them?

thanks

Instagram links coming soon - need to finish off a piece on the AF's first. Existing IG links should still work

Has there been any progress on this IG update. At the moment I am using a workaround that is very long-winded where I have to download the Insta-link using snapinsta & then create a YT video of same before I can post on BJ otherwise it does not work.

Also there used to be a "How To Thread " on BJ which was very useful for posters , is there any possibility of having that updated for the new BJ platform

sorry not good news here :( Meta require business verification to use embedding - potentially 100's of $, going to review again early next year to see what options we have.

If none then looks like we might need to pay if its a show stopper for people

Thanks for the info Philip....

looking at options here - you might not know this... or it might be a wild guess, but... what would you estimate our IG embedding would be on a day or average week?

I have no idea . I used the old IG link quite a bit . I have found a workaround but it's a bit messy but if a fix is not worth it I understand

New pictures from the studio (slides #3, #8 and #13).

Some members such as @Juan Carlos seem to be able to use instagram embeds successfully whereas other members struggle?

Is there a workaround that we are all missing somewhere?

When I go to paste the link to the same post on instagram I just get this;

So what is the difference?

Just been reading your comments, has a solution been found or is it a "no go" for now . Philip indicated a few months back that there might be costs involved so not sure if he have left it for now

Did you read the post that was linked above yours? There is a way to embed, but it only embeds the photo and not the caption. Apols if I misunderstood your question.

Yes I tried that but it does not work for me 🤷‍♀️

I copy the link from the Instagram post to Snapinsta video downloader which creates a link that I upload to You Tube & create a new video. I can then post that video on BJ.

SnapInsta | Download Instagram Videos, Photos, Profile, REEL

I credit the source of the video on BJ back to the original post . When you create the video on YT it checks for copyright issues & so far I only came across one video where they was an issue & immediately I received a message from YT advising me of same so I took down the video immediately.
