Description
Hi WordPress team,
Three years ago, we submitted a request to add Panda Video as a supported oEmbed provider in WordPress. At the time, the project was still gaining traction and visibility.
Today, Panda Video has grown significantly, serving thousands of customers with a robust and reliable video hosting platform. We believe this is a good time to revisit the request.

Here is our official oEmbed endpoint and documentation:

@pandavideo Are you able to do the following so this ticket can proceed:
- There are a list of design standards for adding providers to the allow list, please post a reply addressing each item on the list.
- Reply using an account for the individual making this request rather than the generic brand account
I notice there is a plugin for the service that doesn't appear to register the oembed endpoint, is there any reason you haven't done so in the plugin? As an exclusively paid service, using a plugin is a good first step for evaluating the demand.

@peterwilsoncc Thanks again for the follow-up. Below are detailed responses to the subjective evaluation criteria for oEmbed provider inclusion:
- Is the service popular enough for core developers to have heard of it before? Is it “mainstream?”
- Panda Video is one of the fastest-growing video hosting platforms in Brazil and Latin America, serving thousands of customers, including businesses, content creators, and marketing teams. While our core market is in Brazil, we also have active customers across South America and the United States. Within our market, we are considered a mainstream and trusted solution — similar to Wistia or Vimeo.
- If similar services are already supported, how does this service compare in terms of size, features, and backing?
- Panda Video offers a complete video hosting solution, comparable to Wistia and Vimeo. We provide features such as a customizable player, advanced video analytics, video funnel builder, API access, captioning, secure video delivery via CDN, and more. The service is backed by a dedicated team and is 100% bootstrapped and independent.
- Does this service have an established social media presence?
- Yes, we are active on several platforms and maintain ongoing engagement with our community:
- YouTube
- Yes, we are active on several platforms and maintain ongoing engagement with our community:
- Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented?
- Yes. Our oEmbed endpoint is public and fully documented:
- Does the oEmbed endpoint work with WordPress’ oEmbed auto-discovery? If not, could it be made to work with additional HTML tags or attributes being added to the allow-list?
- Yes, our oEmbed implementation is compatible with WordPress’ auto-discovery mechanism as long as the URL is on the allow list. We are open to any necessary adjustments for full compliance.
- Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers, such as through robust APIs?
- Yes. We offer a complete API platform, public documentation, SDKs, and examples to help developers deeply integrate with Panda Video. Our API is used for uploading, managing videos, collecting stats, and more:
- How old is the service?
- Panda Video was launched in early 2021 and has grown steadily over the last 3+ years
- Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article?
- We have already submitted a Wikipedia article and are currently awaiting its publication. The page is under review, and we will share the link as soon as it is live.
- Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in some way?
- Our plugin already uses our oEmbed API to embed videos directly in posts/pages, providing a smooth experience for users. However, we believe that having Panda Video on the core oEmbed allow list would be beneficial for both current and future users who want oEmbed support out of the box, even without needing to install the plugin.
- Is the provider frequently proposed?
- This is our second proposal. Our first submission was made about three years ago, when the project was just starting to grow. Since then, Panda Video has evolved significantly and is now a widely adopted platform. We’re excited to revisit this request with a stronger case for inclusion.
Hi @pandavideo, welcome to WordPress Trac.
