YouTube video

Embed a single YouTube video on your page, and the link formats we accept.

The YouTube video block plays a single video directly on your page, with no click-through needed. Add it from the Content tab: choose Add, then YouTube video, and paste a link to the video.

Which links work

We accept a link from youtube.com, youtu.be, or music.youtube.com — including a regular watch link, a shortened youtu.be link, a Shorts link, or a live/premiere link. Paste whichever one you’d naturally copy from YouTube’s own Share button or address bar.

Link to a video, not a channel or playlist

This block only ever shows one specific video, so a link to a channel, a playlist, or a search results page won’t work here — link to a single video instead. If the link you paste doesn’t resolve to one, the field flags it before you can save.

Updating the video later

Paste a different link into the block any time to swap the video — it replaces the old one the next time you publish.
