[Bug] - Instagram embeds not showing images on Connect Posts

Is it me or Instagram doesn't show embeds when posting on Connect? Tried it on two different networks and different browsers.

This is what I see...This is what I see...

 

 

This is a test Instagram embed

@RobAo

being an SVT, you are autorized of the use of IFrame here in Connect, but this use should be limited to Google Maps and Street view related sites.

There are filter in places, for blocking the embedding of potentially dangerous Sites.

 

Hope this can help you

Well, @RobAo is a SVT Photographer so an iFrame should work, @ErmesT, but an Instagram embed does not work with an iFrame. Yet you are right; many other embeds are also blocked for security reasons (and the html code we are allowed to use here is limited in posts).
