Summary
Notion's embed block lets you drop in live previews of videos, design files, forms, spreadsheets, and thousands of other online content types without leaving your page. Instead of linking out to another app, you can view and interact with that content right where you're working.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the Page and Start a New Line
Navigate to the Notion page where you want to add the embed. Click at the end of any existing block or press Enter to create a new line. This works the same whether you're building a fresh page or adding to one already filled with blocks like text, images, or tables.
Step 2
Open the Embed Menu
Hover over the new line until a small plus (+) icon appears on the left, then click it. Alternatively, type a forward slash (/) to open the slash command menu and type "embed" to filter the list down to embed-related blocks.
Step 3
Select the Embed Block
Choose "Embed" from the menu for a generic embed, or pick a dedicated option like Video, Tweet, Google Drive, or Figma if the source is listed directly. Press Enter after selecting to open the embed input field.
Step 4
Paste the URL or Upload a File
Paste the link to the content you want to display — a YouTube video, Loom recording, Google Doc, or Miro board — into the input field. If you'd rather add content from your device, click Upload and choose a file such as a PDF, image, or audio clip, similar to how you'd add images to a page.
Step 5
Confirm the Embed
Click "Embed link" or press Enter to load the preview. Notion fetches the content and renders it inline, so you can watch videos, scroll through documents, or interact with maps without leaving the page.
Step 6
Resize and Reposition the Embed
Once the embed loads, click and drag the corner handles to resize it to fit your layout. Drag the six-dot handle on the left to move the block above or below other blocks on the page.
Step 7
Adjust Embed Settings
Click the three-dot menu on the embed block to access options like "Open as full page," "Copy link," or "Remove embed." Use these settings to fine-tune how the content displays or swap it out for a different link later.
Why this matters
You're building a project page and need teammates to review a Figma mockup, watch a Loom walkthrough, or fill out a form — all without hunting for separate tabs. Embedding pulls that content directly into your Notion page, keeping context and collaboration in one place.
Frequently asked questions
What types of content can I embed in Notion?
Notion supports embeds from over 1,900 domains, including video platforms, design tools, PDFs, forms, spreadsheets, and interactive maps. If a service isn't natively integrated, the generic Embed block still attempts to render it.
Is embedding content free on Notion?
Yes, embedding is available on Notion's free plan at no extra cost, though free workspaces have a per-file size limit for content you upload directly rather than link to.
Can I embed a Notion page inside another Notion page?
Yes. Copy the link to any page and paste it into an /embed block, or type @ followed by the page name to create a quick link mention to it inline.
Why does embedded content look different for other viewers?
Some embeds require viewers to be logged into the source service, like Google Drive, to see the content. Make sure you've shared the page and that permissions on the original file allow the right people to view it.
