Show a video, a song or a whole playlist right on your page, with the Video or music block. Every plan has it: up to 3 on Free, and up to 12 with ✦ Boost, on your home page and extra pages together.
Add one
- In your dashboard, open Home page (under Sections) or one of your Pages.
- Click Video or music.
- Paste a link from YouTube, Spotify or SoundCloud. Under the box, we say what we found, like Found: Spotify playlist ✓.
- Give it a title if you like (up to 80 characters), and a caption to show under it (up to 140).
Use ↑ and ↓ to move it, and × to remove it, like any block.
What you can paste
| Service | What works | Looks like |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube | A video (it can start at a time), a Short or a playlist | youtube.com/watch?v=…, youtu.be/…, youtube.com/shorts/… |
| Spotify | A track, album, playlist, podcast episode, show or artist | open.spotify.com/track/… |
| SoundCloud | A public track or playlist | soundcloud.com/artist/track, soundcloud.com/artist/sets/… |
Links from anywhere else don’t work, and neither do:
- Short links (like
on.soundcloud.com/…orspotify.link/…): open them first, then copy the full address from your browser. - Private SoundCloud links (with a secret code at the end): only public tracks and playlists can go on a page.
- Profiles and channels: open the video or track itself and copy its address.
We keep only which service it is and the video’s or track’s own code, never anything else from the link.
What visitors see
Until a visitor says yes, your page shows a placeholder in your page’s own colours: the service’s name, your title, a Load button and a line saying that loading it shares their visit with that service. Nothing comes from YouTube, Spotify or SoundCloud before that, not even a picture.
When they press Load, or allow Embedded media in Privacy choices, the player loads. From then on, that service gets their visit and may set its own cookies, under its own privacy policy. Players never start playing by themselves.
The first time someone visits a page with videos or music, a small box asks them: Accept all, Reject all or Choose. It’s drawn in your page’s look.
When Boost ends
Your first 3 still show. The rest are kept, hidden, and come back just as they were with Boost. See When Boost runs out.
