Image
If your URL ends in jpg, gif, png or jpeg, it will be used as the source for an image tag. It should also work if there is a query string after the extension, perhaps specifying dynamic width and height values.

Video Files

Coordinates, search results, place marks and directions are all honored by Timeline.

Google Plus
Use the URL for the Google Plus photo, found by right-clicking (or control-clicking) the image and selecting “Copy Image URL”.

Imgur
Use the URL for the Imgur photo’s page. Please note that we have received an incresing number of support requests due to restrictions Imgur is placing on content served. If Imgur is serving a 403 error to Timeline in lieu of your image, this cannot be fixed on our end, you will need to contact Imgur support.
DocumentCloud

Wikipedia

Wistia
Use the URL of the Wistia video. You can find this in either the “Social Sharing” or “Embed Code” tab of your video.EmbedlyIf TimelineJS doesn’t recognize your media URL, it will try to use Embed.ly to get the best thing to include on your slide.
