# oEmbed in comments

 * On my site, certain oEmbed content appears within comments and others don’t. 
   For example, embedding a YouTube URL causes the video to appear, but embedding
   an Instagram URL just creates a clickable link to the content.
 * I put my site into Troubleshooting Mode and the situation became even worse: 
   Both the YouTube and Instagram URLs didn’t embed. (However, when I exited Troubleshooting
   Mode, the YouTube embed worked.)
 * oEmbed appears to be working properly within my posts, including for Instagram.
   It’s only within comments that this issue occurs.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Foembed-in-comments%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * oEmbeds in comments is not a thing in the core version of WordPress. Are you 
   using Jetpack, by any chance? I suspect that is adding the oEmbeds – in this 
   case, you’ll need to raise your query with them.
 * This will also explain why the oEmbeds stopped working when used Troubleshooting
   Mode, as this switches off all plugins (Jetpack included).

 * Don’t think Jetpack does that, actually. Not for comments.
 * You may have some other plugin doing it. Basic debug principle: disable things
   one by one until it stops, then you know what’s doing it.
 * Edit: What I mean is that oembeds are not supposed to work in comments. So you
   have something enabling that for youtube specifically.
