WordPress Gutenberg: How to Embed Media

How to Embed Media

This segment of our Gutenberg WordPress tutorial will delve into embedding content. By default, the WordPress block editor supports various media types from different services.

Here are some examples of dedicated blocks for embedding content:

• Videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, TED, and TikTok.
• Images from Flickr, Imgur, Instagram, and Pinterest.
• Posts from Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.
• Audio files from Spotify, SoundCloud, and Mixcloud.
• Documents from Scribd and Issuu.
• Polls and surveys from Crowdisgnal.

Follow these steps to embed media:

1. Open the block inserter and scroll down to the Embeds section.
2. Choose your desired media source.
3. Paste the media URL and select Embed.
4. The page or post will now display the embedded content.
