Quick answer
Open Spotify, select a playlist, album, or track, click the ••• menu or Share button, and choose Copy Link. In Notion, type /embed on your page, paste the Spotify link, and press Enter. The player appears inline, letting you browse tracks and play previews directly on your page.

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
Step 1
Find the Spotify content you want to embed
Open Spotify in your browser or desktop app and search for the playlist, album, podcast episode, or track you want to add. Click on it to open the full details view.
Step 2
Copy the share link
Click the ••• (more options) menu or the Share button on the item, then select Copy Link (sometimes labeled Copy Link to Playlist or Copy Song Link). This copies a standard spotify.com URL to your clipboard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 actual 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. A free Spotify account can generate a share link and embed just fine. Premium mainly affects whether full songs play versus 30-second previews when playback triggers ads or restrictions.
Can I embed a podcast episode instead of music?
Yes. The same Copy Link and /embed process works for podcast episodes and shows — Spotify generates a share link for those the same way it does for tracks and playlists.
Will collaborators in my workspace be able to hear the music too?
Anyone you've added as a member can view and interact with the embedded player, but playback still depends on each person's own Spotify session in their browser.
