Embed video

Hello cllamas,

Embedded videos must be called using separate components. Components should be called in the order you wish them to appear in the article.

The following code effectively creates a link to the video within the body text:

"components": [  {
  "role": "body",
  "identifier": "body-5652fd789ddde",
  "layout": "bodyLayout",
  "textStyle": "default_body_text_style",
  "behavior": {
  "type": "background_motion"
  },
  "format": "markdown",
  "text": "blabla \n\n [VIDEO LINK](https://www.youtube.com/embed/_p8AsQhaVKI) \n\n\n\n\n1e5-9f8c-a8d619fa707c.html#axzz3qysAXTpI) to prevent a supply crunch.

Is there a way to embed video in the "News Publisher" GUI?

Is there a way to add YouTube video embeds using the icloud based 'News Publisher' ?

I've tried adding variations of the YouTube URL into the article and I've tried cut and pasting the code suggested here. Neither works.
The only was I can get video into Apple News is to use a plugin direct from Wordpress (but then I have no control over layout and none of the advantages of using News Publisher).

Can't see anyway of adding tags either (through News Publisher).

Hello cllamas,

Video components and embeds such as YouTube and Vimeo are currently only supported when you deliver Apple News Format articles via the Apple News API. Articles created in News Publisher can include images, text links, pull quotes, and customized fonts and colors.

For more information on creating articles via News Publisher, see Create and publish articles (ANF) in News Publisher Help.
