Embedding a Twitter Feed or Hashtag into RISE

We're trying to use RISE to display a twitter thread for an upcoming conference but can't seem to get it to work.

I've tried a few different avenues with no luck - has anyone had any success doing this?

    Hi Louise,

    Karl is right in that a Multimedia > Embed block should work.  You'll need to use the URL of the Twitter feed, though, for Rise to accept the entry - as shown in an example below:

    Twitter's embed code uses <blockquote> instead of <iframe> for embedding, which is why Rise can't accept this.

    Using an <iframe> code to embed Twitter feeds is possible.  Some methods involve the use of third-party services to proxy the request (e.g., Twitframe) - as shown below:

    Here's the <iframe> code I inserted in Rise using Twitframe:

    <iframe border=0 frameborder=0 height=250 width=550
    src="https://twitframe.com/show?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FSPACEdotcom%2Fstatus%2F1536406310031351811"></iframe>

    If you want to go this route, please verify the third-party services you will be using to facilitate the <iframe> src request.  Security and trust are a big concern, so you may want to consider the feedback from others that have used this method.
