Summary

Notion's embed block lets you drop a live Spotify player directly into any page, so a playlist or track sits alongside your notes, tasks, or mood board. It's a quick way to bring music into your workspace without leaving Notion to search for it.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Step 1

    Find the Spotify content you want to embed

    Open Spotify in your browser (the web player works without signing in) and search for the playlist, album, podcast episode, or track you want to add. Click on it to open the full details view.

  2. Step 2

    Copy the share link

    Click the ••• (more options) button next to the play button, then choose Share > Copy link (for a playlist, the item reads Copy link to playlist). This copies an open.spotify.com URL to your clipboard.

  3. Step 3

    Open the Notion page where you want the player

    Navigate to the page in your workspace, or create a new one. If you haven't set up the page's structure yet, you can first learn how to create a page and add basic content before dropping in the player.

  4. Step 4

    Insert an embed block

    Click into an empty line, type /embed, and select the Embed option from the menu. A dialog box will appear asking for a link — this works the same way as any other item you'd add with the general embed block covered in embedding external content.

  5. Step 5

    Paste the link and confirm

    Paste the Spotify URL into the field and click Embed link. Notion fetches the content and renders a Spotify player block showing cover art and a track list directly on the page.

  6. Step 6

    Resize and position the player

    Click and drag the corner handles to adjust the embed's size, or drag the block using the six-dot handle to move it elsewhere on the page. Add a heading above it or place it near related content, such as a project mood board where you also add images for visual reference.

  7. Step 7

    Share the page with others

    If you want teammates to see and use the player, share the page or invite them to your workspace. Anyone with view access can browse the track list, though full playback depends on their own Spotify login.

Why this matters

You're building a focus dashboard, project brief, or shared team page and want a soundtrack right there instead of tab-switching to Spotify. Embedding it once means anyone who opens the page — teammates included — can browse or preview tracks without leaving Notion.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I need a Spotify Premium account to embed a playlist in Notion?

    No. You don't even need to be signed in to copy a playlist's link and embed it. Viewers who aren't signed into Spotify see the player in Preview mode.

  • Will collaborators in my workspace be able to hear the music too?

    Anyone with access to the page sees the embedded player, but what plays depends on whether each person is signed into Spotify in their browser.
