Title: Embeds Author: Howdy_McGee Published: November 2, 2018 Last modified: April 15, 2026 --- # Embeds ## In this article * [List of sites you can embed from](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/embeds/?output_format=md#list-of-sites-you-can-embed-from) * [External resources](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/embeds/?output_format=md#external-resources) * [Embeds changelog](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/embeds/?output_format=md#embeds-changelog) [ Back to top](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/embeds/?output_format=md#wp--skip-link--target) Since WordPress 5.0, the [WordPress block editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-editor/) has an easy way to add videos, images, tweets, audio, and other content from third- party services into your WordPress site by embedding. An example of this is embedding a YouTube video in your post or page. When you are embedding content, you don’t need to upload the content to your WordPress site. You are creating a link to the content, from within your post or page. Using the generic [Embed Block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/embed-block/), you can paste the URL from the third-party site that you want to embed the content such as YouTube, Vimeo, TED, etc on your post or page. ![Embedding content using the Embed block.](https://wordpress.org/documentation/ files/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-16-at-11.31.14-AM-1024x429.png) You can also use Embed blocks build for specific third-party services such as YouTube Embed, Vimeo Embed, etc. For a full list of embeds, check out the article: [list of all embed
