a gfycat play sample

[solarbird]

So here's how a gfycat play sample looks embedded here. You need to grab the actual-gif preview link. To do that, go to your library, hover over the preview of the video you want to embed, alt-click, and pick "save image location" or whatever your browser calls it.



Then use the img tag pointing to that link to embed it. So:

<img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CoordinatedSimilarGartersnake-size_restricted.gif">

displays as:



You can also make the image a link by using regular html link code around it.

<a href="https://gfycat.com/coordinatedsimilargartersnake"><img src="https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CoordinatedSimilarGartersnake-size_restricted.gif"></a>

Displays the same way, but now if you click on it, it'll go to gfycat.



And that's how that works.
