Moodle Plugins directory: Multi-Embed Filter | Moodle.org
Multi-Embed Filter
Description
The Moodle Multi-Embed filter automatically turns URLs from supported services into embedded content, without any user input. By using the Moodle Multi-Embed filter, Moodle users (e.g. teachers) do not need to know how to 'embed' objects from other sites, they only need to know how to copy/paste a URL into their Moodle content, using the standard Moodle editor.
Now supports 31 online services! Responsive content (automatically adjusts to screen size), GDPR compliant. Lazyloading support (pages load fast)
Pre-requisites
Please make sure that you have enabled the 'Convert URLs into links' filter, and placed it above the Multi-Embed filter, as shown below. This setting can be found at Site administration > Plugins > Filters > Manage filters. Ensure both filters are set to 'Content and Headings'
Please ensure that the 'Converts URLs into links and images' filter settings are set to filter all types of content at Site administration > Plugins > Filters > Convert URLs into links and images as shown below
Depending on your Moodle installation, you may also need to do the following
- In Site administration > Security > Site policies, set 'Allow EMBED and OBJECT tags' to 'Yes'

First a big thank you - the filter rocks! We just upgraded to Moodle 3.10 and noticed something curious that seems to be Multi-Embed Filter (MEF) related - when inserting a Youtube url into a page, with the MEF on, the page will open in a pop-out, easily embed and play the YouTube video, but when you close the popout while the video is playing, the video will continue to play as if the page was still open. This doesn't happen if you make the YouTube url a link before saving the page however. It is not a huge workaround but if there is an easy fix then that would be great Cheers!
Could you be able to add loom videos?
It's a great tool for creating screen recordings and is free for teachers and students.
Thank you for this fantastic filter--a huge help especially during COVID and remote learning!
Question: any chance you will be updating your plugin to 3.9 over the summer?
Thanks again for sharing your great work with the Moodle community!
Also was wondering if you might have time to update your plugin for 3.9 since it is a LTS version (long term support)?
Your filter should be part of the Moodle core--thank you again for sharing your great work with the Moodle community!
Cheers,
Fred
It would be so wonderful, if you could find the time to keep this plugin updated.
Did anyone try it on Moodle 4.0? Is it working?
The multiembedded filter was responsible for a problem with Moodle 4.1.4: When plugin changes were made, the menus, such as the website administration, disappeared. When we took the filter out, that was no longer the case. We have php 8.1.25. Are there others already having this problem?
Best regards
Friedhelm
Will there be a 4.x supported version soon?
plse keep us informed
