# Customize new WordPress 4.4 oEmbed

 * Is there any way to customize how the oEmbed of WordPress posts (new in 4.4) 
   displays? I want to swap out the WordPress logo that appears in the lower left
   corner with the favicon of the site that is being embedded. Is that possible?
 * Also, it seems like that should be the standard setup for how that works.

 * Hello,
 *  I was able to change the icon used in the embedded post by using the Site Icon
   in the Customizer. (Appearance > Customize > Site Identity). According to the
   instructions there, the image you use should be square and 512×512. I would personally
   recommend keeping it very simply so that it can scale down to 16×16 and still
   look like the object you use for your “site identity”
 * There isn’t a lot of ‘how to’ on this site, yet, but you can use the following
   hooks to also customize the way that the embed looks:
 * embed_head
    embed_footer

 * It looks like there are more hooks and filters in the core file that you can 
   take advantage of in your theme or plugin:

 * Hope that helps!
