Embedding Outside Content

In addition to sharing work communication, Basecamp is a great place to share cat videos, your favourite GIFs, tweets, and vacation photos. Just paste the link to the item in a Ping or Chat!

For GIFs you'll need the direct links that end with .gif. This will work! 

Want to embed something in a message or comment? Paste the URL into the 'Link' icon in the toolbar. Click the "Yes, embed it" button:

And just like that, your video or a tweet is embedded!

Additionally, you can open a Door to other services right in your Basecamp projects! 🚪 A Door is a simple, direct link to any outside services you use like GitHub, Slack, Zoom, etc.
