Embed blocks allow you to add external multimedia content to your website, including videos, social media posts, and other interactive elements. This guide explains how to effectively use embed blocks.

Adding Videos

1. Get the embed code from your video platform's Share or Embed button
2. Edit your page and click the Embed block
3. Click the pencil icon to open the block editor
4. Paste the code into the Code Snippet field
5. Optionally add a description or custom thumbnail

For YouTube Playlists:

• Navigate to your playlist
• Click Share > Embed
• Copy the code and paste it into the Embed block

Adding Other Content Types

1. Edit your page and add an Embed block
2. Open the block editor
3. Enter the content URL (must be from an oEmbed-compatible site)
4. If content doesn't display, manually paste the embed code

Troubleshooting Tips

If you see "Please enter a valid URL or embed code":

• Verify your URL or code is correct
• Look for "Successfully located" message
• Contact the service provider if issues persist

If embedded content isn't visible:

• Check the page while logged out
• View in an incognito window
• Verify the code with the service provider

Best Practices:

• Use Video blocks for basic YouTube and Vimeo content
• Use Embed blocks for advanced video settings or other platforms
• Enable autoplay by modifying the embed code
• Consider loading times when adding multiple embeds

Note: Some embedded content may not display while logged in but will be visible to site visitors. This is a security feature and not an error.
