A range of external services can be used with the embed content block on a post to display content such as videos, audio and badges with a simple embed code.
Use an external service
The embed block lets you include content from other websites and services and add it directly into the layout of a page.
- Drag the content block into position
- Obtain the URL or code from the external service
- Paste code into embed block
- Click Embed - if correct, the content will appear.
For URLs:
Copy the website address from the browser address bar. An example for YouTube is:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfI2gi4AKR0
For embed codes:
Find the share option and look for the code - typically an iframe. An example for YouTube is:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SfI2gi4AKR0?si=9l1jMKrLgRacWl1U" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
For assistance with obtaining embed codes, please refer to the service's help guides.
PebblePad does not directly provide these services. Your own account and licence is required.
