There is a creating feature I have not seen when I headed towards the creating page. I like embedding Facebook and YouTube links on the embed create feature.
I see it is missing. I don’t know whether it was intentionally removed or it vanished accidentally.
I am not sure if many of Virily users use this feature. Instead of heading to story where you have to include image before posting a link to a social media site, in embed you only insert a link and add some information making it more presentable.
Anyone who has some ideas why it’s missing?

Was this feature one of your favourite in posting links of images and videos from social media sites?
I rarely used this feature.
It was easier posting a video or photo through this method.
I noticed a few days ago. I sometimes will share videos but now I use the polls and add links.
It looks like those are the only methods we are left with to share videos.
Honestly, i never used it but did notice it was missing.
I mostly used it to post YouTube and Facebook videos. I will have to do with the story mode.
i understand that, sorry! i think they (admin team) are trying to improve the site right now.
Thank you. I hope so. Ahol888 has commented that the admin have removed it as they want more information than provided in the Embed feature.
that is possible, they seem to be working very hard on the site right now
A virily moderator once told me that even they can’t edit such posts, they can only delete them. You can use another format and if you use a browser like Opera or Mozilla, you can automatically emebed by pasting links inside the post.
It looks like more technical work is required to deal with this problem. The tactic you’ve suggested is the only one I’m left to do.
I like it, because this way I can combine the embedded content with a poll, for example.
We can embed links in list posts easily as well.
I have never used the other create feature like lists or to embed links except in story and embed modes. Thanks for the short tutorial. I’m heading that way.
I have not used it much and so would not have missed it.
That is true. But I do know you miss quiz:)
You are right there. I do miss creating quizzes.
Yes , I wish this feature could come back
Me too. It was one of my darling features.
I noticed it is also missing when you want to post 1 photo. Good thing there is a gallery.
I liked that feature but as you’ve said, it’s a good thing the gallery hasn’t been removed.
Yes, they removed it because they wanted a little bit more writing accompanied with each post so that it shows up higher on search engines.
Oh, I see. Thanks Ahol888. I can see they are working on improving their ranking on the web.
