Embed element

The Embed element displays third-party content (like YouTube videos, Google Forms, or social embeds) on a Composer page by accepting an HTML embed code from the source site. Add it from the Standard tab of the Element Library.

💡Quick answers

  • Where is the Embed element located? On the Standard tab of the Element Library.
  • Adding an embed to a page? Click the gear icon and paste the source site's HTML embed code into the Code field under General Settings.
  • Where do embed codes come from? Each source site (YouTube, Vimeo, X/Twitter, Google Forms, etc.) provides an embed code in its share or export menu.
  • Is it possible to display Facebook content with the Embed element? Yes. Embed a Facebook feed plugin into the Embed element, since the Facebook social element is no longer supported.

What are Elements?

Elements are the fundamental building blocks of your Composer pages. Learn more about how elements work in the article, "Understanding elements" and read about each of the 5 tabs in the element library: Standard, Module, Layout, Social, and Shared.

The Embed element is used to present rich material that's hosted on a third-party site. Many sites that allow users to upload and share content give each piece of content a unique "embed code," a snippet of HTML that will allow that content to be displayed elsewhere.

For example, YouTube.com includes embed codes for most of the videos that end users upload. A particular video's code can be copied from YouTube.com and pasted into the Embed element. The element will then display the video to end users.

To insert an Embed element on your Composer page, open up your Element library to the Standard elements and select Embed.
