Embedded URLs

Embed videos, music and more directly into your page with a URL

To add an embedbed URL, simply paste the link of the content you want to embed and hit Enter.

Note: The content you want to embed must be publicly available in order for GitBook to access the file. For example, when embedding a Google doc the share settings must be set to Anyone with the link.

GitBook doesn't support embedding external content with an HTML <iframe>, due to its content security policy. If the content is publicly available, use the embed block instead.

Videos

Note: You can choose to auto-play and loop YouTube and Vimeo embeds by adding ?autoplay=1&loop=1 to the end of your video’s URL.

Video files

Uploaded video files — such as MP4s — don't play inline; they appear as links that visitors can click to open or download. To show a playable video on your page, upload the video to a publicly accessible platform such as YouTube or Google Drive, then paste the link into an embed block. Private URLs won't display on your page.
