== Frequently Asked Questions ==

#### What is oEmbed ####

[oEmbed](http://www.oembed.com/) is a simple API that allows a website to display embedded content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that resource.  It was designed to avoid copying and pasting HTML from the media you wish to embed.


#### What is oEmbed for Comments? ####

oEmbed for Comments utilizes WordPress' own oEmbed functionality to enable embeds to work with Comments, instead of Posts.

To use, add any URL that supports oEmbed on its own line into a comment.

When the comment is posted and approved, the URL automagically transforms into the embedded content.
