Description

Per the Timeline builder instructions, it should work to paste the share link into Medium.com posts. Both pasting the link directly into the post, and pasting via the "Add an embed" action do not work.

Iframes also do not appear to work with Medium. Thus, there is currently no known workaround for this issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue using the Timeline builder instructions and testing both direct share-link pasting and the Medium.com "Add an embed" action. Check whether iframe embeds behave differently; done means establishing a supported Medium embed path or clearly documenting that Medium does not support the current embedding approach.
