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'

Thanks for the comment and idea. I was not ignoring your previous comment - too busy at work. I have just worked out how to embed items that do not contain the correct information in the URL (this was the issue in your previous comment - the URL does not include 'slides/docs/sheets' etc., preventing the embed from happening. For now, you can get the URL from the document edit window instead -that should solve your issue). This will also allow me to add the new feature you requested (images and videos). This is something that my school also needs. Might take me a few weeks, but will get it done when I have some time.
Cheers,
Fred
No worries--completely understand being swamped!!!
Quick question: can you share directions / examples of a Google Doc URL that would be show up in the Assignment "online text box" so that teachers would be able to grade assignments inside Moodle using the Assignment interface with rubrics, marking comments, etc.?
Thank you again for this amazing plugin! It makes integrating other resources a snap for teachers to build better experiences for their students!
Cheers,
--Joe
Great plugin and thank you for your updates!
Feature request for future releases:
Any chance we could add in support for Office365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote online / cloud based versions?)
Specifically, being able to embed OneNote Online would be AMAZING (www.OneNote.com) since OneNote has the newer Class Notebook feature for teachers to easily be able to distribute pages and sections to students, as well as ink over documents, photos, and images in its collaboration space.
Thanks for sharing your great work with the Moodle community!

It is my understanding that setting this ty Yes is a potential security risk, as users may unwittingly (or wittingly) embed malware. In our setup, it is currently set to Yes, but I'm thinking of setting it to No to reduce security risk, but I think I want to use the Multi-embed filter. (Decisions! Decisions!)
What are your thoughts on my thinking idea? Cheers!
Hi, this is a good question. Does your organisation have a policy regarding such things? Are you located in a country where you/your organisation could potentially be held legally responsible if malware was spread using your Moodle site? I think this would be a good starting point for making a decision.
If not, I would perform a risk-assessment, and if the risk of malware spreading/other shenanigans is low, then I would leave it on. If you think it's high, then I would turn it off. In my case, the risk is low so we leave it on. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Fred
I understand your frustrations. Unfortunately, I cannot implement this until the Moodle Mobile app actually handles filters. There is a request for this to happen in the tracker. Please upvote the issue https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MOBILE-2491

It looks like Prezi have updated the way they do things. I'll look into it next week, and push a fix if Prezis can still be embedded. Thanks for reporting the issue.
Cheers,
Fred
I like what you have done with the filter. Unfortunately, it looks like Padlet and Quizlet dont work - at least not my installation of Moodle 3.5. It also has a problem handling long URLs. Ted talks work with a short URL but not a long ones.
kind regards,
Brad
Thanks for the report. I am not having issues with either Padlet or Quizlet. Can you please share some URLs that don't work? Same with TED URLs. Feel free to PM me on the system to share the URLs - would like to get to the bottom of this.
Cheers,
Fred
It would be wonderful if the content would be embedded responsively. Is it possible to adapt the code for that purpose?
Many thanks!
