What are @ckeditor/ckeditor5-media-embed's main functionalities?
Embedding Media
This feature allows users to embed media content from various sources directly into the CKEditor 5 instance. The code sample demonstrates how to initialize CKEditor 5 with the MediaEmbed plugin and add the media embed button to the toolbar.
ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { plugins: [ MediaEmbed, ... ], toolbar: [ 'mediaEmbed', ... ] })
Custom Media Providers
This feature allows users to define custom media providers for embedding media content. The code sample shows how to configure CKEditor 5 to recognize and embed media from a custom provider.
ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { plugins: [ MediaEmbed, ... ], mediaEmbed: { providers: [ { name: 'customProvider', url: /customProvider\.com\/media\/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/, html: match => `<iframe src="https://customProvider.com/media/${match[1]}"></iframe>` } ] } })
Responsive Media Embeds
This feature ensures that embedded media is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes. The code sample demonstrates how to enable responsive media embeds by setting the 'previewsInData' option to true.
ClassicEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { plugins: [ MediaEmbed, ... ], mediaEmbed: { previewsInData: true } })

react-player
react-player is a React component for playing various types of media, including YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and more. It provides a simple interface for embedding media in React applications.

video.js
video.js is a popular open-source HTML5 video player that supports a wide range of video formats and provides a customizable player interface. While video.js is primarily focused on video playback, it can be integrated into web applications to provide advanced video embedding and playback features.

plyr
plyr is a simple, customizable HTML5 media player that supports video, audio, and YouTube embeds. It offers a clean and modern interface for media playback. Plyr can be used to embed media content in web applications, but it does not provide the rich text editing capabilities of CKEditor 5.

Release highlights
Performance improvements
We have improved how the editor handles the document structure by making it more reliable and efficient to access specific elements and verify their positions.
- Node index and offset caching: The
Node
and NodeList
elements now cache index and offset values, reducing the need for recalculations and significantly boosting overall performance during model operations. - Selection range validation: The newly implemented
Position#isValid()
method is also utilized to better validate selection ranges, ensuring more consistent behavior in various editing scenarios. - Performance improvements in numbers: The editor now loads content between 3x and, in some cases, up to 6x faster, depending on the type and size of the content. For instance, where a specific 200-page document previously took almost 25 seconds to load, the time has now been reduced to just 3.5 seconds.
We’re committed to ongoing performance enhancements, so you can expect even faster, smoother experience in future updates.
Export to Word watermark support
A new configuration option has been added to include a watermark when exporting documents to Word, providing additional flexibility in document branding and protection.
Notable bug fixes and improvements
- Suggestions retention on revision restore: Suggestions are no longer lost in specific cases when restoring revisions with changes from multiple users. The revision tracking process has been improved to ensure that all operations, including markers, are handled and saved correctly during synchronization. This fix resolves issues where markers were previously not retained, ensuring consistent data handling in collaborative editing scenarios.
- Action dropdown visibility fix: Resolved an issue where the action dropdown remained hidden after permission changes on comments. The dropdown now properly reflects updated permissions, allowing users to interact with the available actions seamlessly.
- AI command enhancements:
- Custom AI Commands are now correctly applied to individual dropdowns when only one group of comments is present, instead of the entire group.
- Empty comment groups no longer render, improving UI clarity.
- Fixed an issue where nested AI command menus would close unexpectedly when used within a balloon toolbar, preventing unintended behavior during selection.
Features
- engine: Introduced the
getChildAtOffset()
method for model.Element
and model.DocumentFragment
. (commit) - engine: Introduced the
Position#isValid()
method to check whether the position exists in the current model tree. (commit) - export-word: Added a configuration setting for adding a watermark to generated documents.
- revision-history: Introduced the
RevisionTracker#getRevisionDocumentData()
and RevisionTracker#getRevisionRootsAttributes()
methods to the public scope of the editor API. You can use them to retrieve document data saved with the revision. - utils: Made
FocusTracker
extendable with other FocusTracker
instances to allow logical focus tracking across separate DOM sub-trees (see #17277). (commit)
Bug fixes
- ai: Empty AI Assistant command groups should not render in the UI.
- ai: The AI Assistant command list should be flat when only one command group is available.
- comments: Fixed an issue where the action dropdown remained hidden when permissions allowing actions on a comment changed.
- engine: The content of an inline object should be handled as a flow root so whitespaces should be trimmed as the content of an inline object element is inside a block element. Closes #17199. (commit)
- image: Handle existing picture element correctly on
sources
downcast. (commit) - link: No longer crash editor after removing link from image when
LinkConfig#addTargetToExternalLinks: true
is set. Closes https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/17252. (commit) - list-multi-level: Multi-level lists should display correctly in RTL mode for Decoupled Editor.

Other changes
- engine: Node index and offset related values are now cached in model
Node
and NodeList
