The Embed Code component lets you drop content from approved third-party services directly onto a page. You paste a snippet of HTML (usually an <iframe> or <script> block) into the field, and the embedded content renders inline alongside the rest of your page content.
When to use the Embed Code component
Reach for the Embed Code component when an external platform supports embedding and that piece of content contextually belongs on your page. Good use cases include:
- A registration or signup form built in an external platform
- A donation form or fundraising widget
- A live social media post
- A map of a building or event location
- A podcast episode or audio track hosted externally
- A data dashboard or report
- An external calendar feed
If you want to embed a YouTube or Vimeo video, the Media: Video Embed component is purpose-built for that and a better fit. If you have an audio file to upload directly (rather than streaming from a hosted service), the Media: Audio Embed component is the right choice.
Where embed codes come from
Each provider exposes its embed code differently. On most platforms you'll find it under a "Share" or "Embed" option within the piece of content you want to display, then copy the full snippet from there. For the current list of supported providers and the exact code format expected for each, see Supported embed formats and options.
