How to embed YouTube posts/videos

You can embed YouTube posts/videos in two ways:


  1. Copy the URL of the video.
  2. Copy the embed HTML code from YouTube.


To embed YouTube posts via URL:

  • Go to your Linkie dashboard.
  • Press on Click to add link, post, embed, etc.



  • Choose Add an embed from the cards.



  • Click on Paste URL.



  • To find the URL of the post, you can go to the post on YouTub, click on Share and Copy the link.



  • After pasting the URL from YouTube, click on Add embed.



  • You can preview how it looks, by clicking Preview on the top right corner.



  • You can always Edit Embed **or **remove the post from your Linkie by clicking the bin icon.



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.



  • Click on Copy, to copy the HTML code.



  • Go back to Linkie and paste the embedded code **and then **Add embed.


When embedding with HTML, avoid using event attributes like "onclick", because they rely on JavaScript, which many platforms block for security reasons.



  • Preview it by clicking Preview on the top right corner.



  • You can always Edit Embed **or **remove the post from your Linkie by clicking the bin icon.



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>
