Embedly

Enhance the default WordPress embedding to get previews for any article, 
including your own blog posts. You also get embeds for YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, 
Google Maps, and Embedly’s growing list of <a href="https://embed.ly/providers" rel="nofollow ugc">1000+ supported 
providers</a>.
You can customize the style of the embeds, to optimize for darker WP themes, 
alignment, and width. In addition, social buttons can be added around the embeds 
to make it easier to share content from your blog posts.
If you have an Embedly Cards account, you can link it to the plugin with your Embedly API key. Not only does this remove branding from the cards, it also gives you access to analytics and viewer behaviors for most popular music and video player embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, SoundCloud). Find out how many people viewed your embeds for how long. To learn more about Embedly Cards please visit <a href="https://embed.ly/cards" rel="nofollow ugc">our website</a>.
Using it is as simple as the default WordPress embedding. Embed media by pasting its URL in a single line when writing a post.
The plugin automatically displays an embed of the media in the WordPress post editor.
Fair Warning: This plugin generates static HTML content for your posts. After you deactivate 
the plugin, that HTML will still remain behind in all posts where the plugin was used to create 
embeds.

The Embedly Plugin extends WordPress's auto-embed feature to give your blog more media types and style options.

oEmbed Gist

Thank you for this plugin! It does what it says discretely and reliably. I’m currently using it with latest WordPress (v4.4.2), and all is well.
I noticed, though, that the plugin only supports specific naming patterns. If I have a Gist with multiple files, and they are named in a dot pattern—like my.gist.file-name.php—I would end up with a URL like my-gist-file-name-php, and the plugin would not embed those. 
Is this a known behavior? Would you be interested in extending support for generic file names?



Works like a charm

A huge thanks for making this awesome plugin. Hopefully you will maintain this in future too. 
BTW IMO this feature should be included in WP Core.



Thanks for this awesome plugin

This is a whole lot better than pasting script tags. It renders the result in the content editor too! Now I can eliminate the syntax highlighter plugin I was using that loaded its assets on every single page. Two-fer.



Easy peasy lemon squeezy

I love this plugin. Makes my life easy as a code blogger.

Perfect!

Found recently that other gist embed solutions are starting to fail whereas this one is working great!
