- In the window that opens choose embed from the vertical ellipsis menu.
- copy the embed code and paste into the editor in the Text view.
- on saving it will be converted into a shortcode like this:

which has changed from the old format: https://sway.com/WR42BzNQhsCisIAW
The new url does not work in Glow Blogs. Our developers are looking at the issue.
As a workaround you can just edit the link to use sway.com as opposed to sway.cloud.microsoft.
paste in the link to the sway: https://sway.office.com/WR42BzNQhsCisIAW
produces this:
