Using data: Embeds

Learn how to use embeds in Notion and incorporate Loom videos into a project plan.

Embeds

Embeds are a great way to take any Notion page to the next level. Rather than having to access multiple tools, you can use embeds to keep a lot of useful information in a single place.

There are over 500 different embed types in Notion including Google Maps, CodePen, Loom, Miro, Whimsical, and more.

Adding an embed:

  • For most common embed types in Notion you can just paste the link of that resource on the web, and select the “Embed file” option.

  • An embed shows the full content of a webpage within Notion, while a link preview only shows a summary and thumbnail of the linked page.

  • Embeds are better for incorporating reference material or other webpages that provide key information you want visible in your Notion workspace.

  • Notion supports embeds for common services like YouTube, Google Drive, Trello, and more. You just paste the URL and it automatically imports as an embed.

  • Link previews save space but require clicking the link to access the full content of the webpage. They're better for supplementary or additional reading material.
