How to embed videos

Step-by-step guide on how to embed videos using HTML on your Linkie profile

You can use the HTML Embed card to add videos to your Linkie profile with a supported video link. This works with platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Threads, Streamable, and other supported video services.

Go to your Linkie profile in the playground, then click Click to add link, post, embed, etc.

Choose HTML Embed

Choose HTML Embed.

Select Paste URL

Select Paste URL, then use the highlighted input box to paste the video URL once you copy it.

Copy the video link

Open the video you want to embed, then copy its link from the original platform. You can follow the same flow for supported video links from YouTube, Facebook, Threads, Streamable, and similar services.

Examples include:

YouTube videos
Facebook videos
Threads posts with video content
Streamable videos

If the platform offers both a video link and embed code, use the video link for the Paste URL option.

Paste the link in Linkie

Paste the video link into the URL field. You can also add an optional title for tracking analytics, then click Add embed.

If the website supports embedding, Linkie will generate the video preview automatically.

Some websites do not allow their videos or posts to be embedded. If a platform disables embeds or iframes, Linkie will not be able to generate a preview from that URL.

Choose a card shape

After adding the embed, choose the card size that fits your Linkie profile best:

Square shows the video as a compact card that fits into your profile grid. Depending on your selected layout, it will appear within your 2-column or 3-column grid.
Full size shows the video as a full-width rectangle. It takes the full width of your Linkie profile and becomes the only card on that row.

Preview your embed

Click Preview at the top right of the playground to see how the embedded video will look on your Linkie profile. The preview will show how the video appears in both Square and Full size layouts.

Things to note

The HTML Embed card can be used with supported video links.
Examples include YouTube, Facebook, Threads, Streamable, and other supported video services.
Use Paste URL when you want Linkie to generate the embed from the video link.
Some platforms disable embeds or iframes, so not every video URL will work in Linkie.
You can add an optional title to help track the embed in analytics.
If you need a provider-specific flow, use the platform's video link first before trying embed code.
Square fits inside your current 2-column or 3-column layout.
Full size takes the full width of the profile and appears alone on its row.
