Embed videos, music and more directly into your page with a URL
To add an embedded URL, paste the link of the content you want to embed and press Enter.
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.
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.
Your content must be publicly available. For Google Docs, select the Anyone with the link sharing setting.
GitBook embeds URLs through Iframely. Confirm that Iframely supports your provider, then test your URL with Iframely.
GitBook can't embed external HTML <iframe> tags because of its content security policy. Use an embed block instead.
