What content can be embedded in Bridge? Follow
Content from secure external websites can be embedded in Bridge courses using the Embedly integration. Embedly supports hundreds of websites, called content providers, and a wide variety of them are compatible with the Bridge authoring tool.
Note: Bridge does not support all Embedly content providers at this time.
Find URL Protocol

Each content provider comes with its own URL protocol that is required for the media to be displayed successfully. URL protocols can be found by clicking the provider's name in the provider list and following the URL Scheme listed on the content provider's page. For example, if you would like to embed content from Flickr, your url that is pasted into Bridge must begin with one of the four listed options. The asterisk represents the rest of the url that is unique to your content (i.e. https://www.flic.kr/1234)
Note: Google Drive is not specifically listed as a content provider on Embed.ly. The URL protocol for Google Drive is provided in the list below.

I need a how-to about how this works. Is there an article about that?
Hi Emily,
For more information on how to embed items into your courses, you can read over this guide: How do I embed content in Bridge. Don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything else we can assist you with.
Thank you!
It would be helpful to be able to embed any file type. Microsoft documents including PDF, Word, Excel and not just PPT. The content shifts when converting files.
