To embed YouTube posts via HTML code:
- Go to your Linkie dashboard.
- Press on Click to add link, post, embed, etc.
- Choose Add an embed from the cards.
- Click on HTML Code.
- Go to the YouTube post you want to embed, click on Share, and select  Embed.

Keep in mind:
- Embed cards are full width by default and cannot be resized, only the height can be adjusted.
- When embedding with HTML, avoid using event attributes like "onclick", because they rely on JavaScript, which many platforms block for security reasons.
- You can include custom HTML elements like headings. For example: <h1>Hello world</h1>
