Is it possible to embed youtube video in wordpress post created with org2blog

Is it possible to embed youtube video in wordpress post created with org2blog

[Steinar Bang]

I use org2blog to create posts for https://steinar.bang.priv.no

Right now I'm working on a blog post where I would like to embed a
youtuble video, but I can't figure out how.

Is it possible?

I tried the obvious approach, which is the same way I embed images, i.e.
 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcihVdB7oU8]]

But that only showed the URL in the blog post

(Note: the blog post isn't posted yet, it's just a draft, so this could
be a difference in the preview)

Thanks!

You will probably need to embed youtube iframe.
For example, using
https://github.com/org2blog/org2blog?tab=readme-ov-file#raw-html-creation

Also, you can define a custom link type as described in
https://bitspook.in/blog/extending-org-mode-to-handle-youtube-links/ or
as done in https://github.com/TobiasZawada/org-yt
Although, you may need to adjust things for org2blog export backend,
which is not html AFAIU.
