Images and Videos not auto-embedding?

Dev reply inside

I'm having an issue where, despite my settings being set to allow embedded images/videos, they are simply not doing so. Is there something I'm missing?

Have you verified that the server settings allow you to embed? There are 3 places embeds can be turned off.

  1. In your local user settings - so that you don't see embeds.
  2. In the server settings for roles/@everyone
  3. In the channel settings for roles/@everyone/users.

I assumed they were on because I was seeing embedded images at first and everyone else can see them, but on my end they either never embed now or embed for a few seconds before converting back to a link on their own.

When they don't embed and other people can see them, does reloading your client (CTRL + R) fix the issue? If so, it's a known bug (our servers are replying too fast and something is getting out of sync) and it's something we're looking into.

CTRL+R didn't do anything for me. I don't mind clicking links, but it's a little strange that it randomly chooses certain links to embed and not others.

Do the embeds that didn't show previously show after ctrl + R?
