Hi,

The Soundcloud embed doesn’t work well when the link is shortened. Here is an exemple (the first link is shortened by the mobile app):
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/BYRyb

It does work, but it’s far less than ideal, as you can see above… :wink:

Is there a way to fix this issue? Is it something that should/could be fixed in discourse or is it perhaps at soundcloud?

A hack could be to add something like this in ones CSS.

// soundcloud onebox css fix

iframe[src^="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/"] {
  width: 100%;
  height: 166px;
}

Just noting that this affects a community I’m part of as well. We’re a bunch of musicians sharing songs, and the “easy” (shortened) links all look weird and wrong.
