Vox Beta Testing: Embedding

As we've mentioned before, there is a way to opt in to test new Vox features before they are released.  Your testing and feedback help us make tweaks and changes before we roll out the features to the entire Vox community.

One of the latest features we're beta testing is the ability to embed code in your posts.  Embedding lets you put all sorts of neat things into your posts, like polls, charts, slide shows and much more.

Currently you can only test the embed feature in posts -- you cannot embed media into your sidebars.  We've already gotten feedback that you really want to be able to embed code into your sidebars, and we're looking forward to this ability too!  But please be patient, it's going to be a little while longer before we roll out that capability. 

You have to become a beta tester in order to see the embed button in the Compose page.  To participate in beta testing new features, click Account and go to the Your Account page.  You'll see Vox Beta along with the statement "Yes, I would like to test new features." next to a checkbox. Just check the box and click the Save to become one of our testers. Be sure to leave your feedback by following the "Beta Feedback" link in the control strip!  We're also currently beta testing the new control strip, which you can preview before we roll out the final version to everyone next week.
