I get this when posting on forum, just text; no embedded content.

“Embedded media upload permission is required to use [sic] oembed content.”

Shame they can’t spell!

Though this post survived!

I’ve also been having trouble posting this morning! I get the same red banner, but it shows a different error message.

@WelshPaul, ​@Geluk -

It was a request from our legal team to disable Embedded Media while they review the Government’s/Ofcom’s Online Safety Act, which we’ve been made aware impacts the iD Community.  Sorry, I do appreciate it’s frustrating, and I'm pushing for restored functionality ASAP!

(The message is generated by Gainsight, our Community Platform Partner, I'll raise the error with them!)

Thanks.
