Media Types

People have always loved how easy TimelineJS makes it to add rich media to the slides that tell your story. The new version of Timeline continues the tradition and adds a few new media types.

Image
If your URL ends in jpg, gif, png or jpeg, it will be used as the source for an image tag. It should also work if there is a query string after the extension, perhaps specifying dynamic width and height values.
Online Videos
Use the URL for the page of the video for Vimeo, DailyMotion, Vine, and YouTube. Timeline honors Youtube start-at time parameters.
SoundCloud
Use the URL for the SoundCloud clip page.
Twitter
Use the the Twitter embed code, or the URL of the tweet's page.
Google Maps
Use the URL for the Google Maps page (unless you are using Streetview, which currently requires the embed URL found in the "Share" section). Coordinates, search results, place marks and directions are all honored by Timeline. TimelineJS supports roadmap, hybrid, satellite and terrain Google Maps, as well as directions, places, and Streetview maps.
Google Plus
Use the URL for the Google Plus photo, found by right-clicking (or control-clicking) the image and selecting "Copy Image URL".
Instagram
Use the URL for the Instagram photo's page.
Flickr
Use the URL for the Flickr photo's page. The shortened link provided in the share menu (e.g. https://flic.kr/p/sv3VN6) will also work.
Imgur
Use the URL for the Imgur photo's page.

DocumentCloud
Use the URL of the Document Cloud document's page.
Wikipedia
Use the URL of the Wikipedia article's page.
Storify
Use the URL of the Storify.
iframe
Instead of a URL, you can use <iframe> markup. This is a good general workaround to embedding media types that TimelineJS doesn't handle directly.
Blockquote
Instead of a URL, you can use <blockquote> tags around whatever text you want to quote.
Embedly
If TimelineJS doesn't recognize your media URL, it will try to use Embed.ly to get the best thing to include on your slide.
