The block enables you to insert any Pocket Casts content, such as a podcast page, an episode, and the time position within an episode, into your post or page. ## 󠀁[Add a Pocket Casts Embed block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/pocket-casts-embed/?output_format=md#add-a-pocket-casts-embed-block)󠁿 To add the Pocket Casts Embed block to the editor, click the (**+**) icon at the top left corner to open the Block Inserter. Search for and then click the Pocket Casts Embed block to add it to the editor. Alternatively, you can manually insert the Pocket Casts Embed block using the keyboard shortcut /pocket-casts. Once inserted, you can embed a Pocket Casts URL to the block. Here are the steps to insert a podcast page and an episode to the Pocket Casts Embed block: 1. Find a podcast and click on it to open the podcast page. Hover your mouse over the podcast title and click the **Share** button. ![Share button on a Pocket Casts podcast](https://wordpress.org/documentation/files/ 2022/11/pocket-casts-share.png) 2.

Check if the URL is replaced by the Pocket Casts player. ## 󠀁[Block Toolbar](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/pocket-casts-embed/?output_format=md#block-toolbar)󠁿 The block toolbar displays several tools used to customize each block.

Click on the **Change alignment** button and select one of the following alignment options: * **None** – is the default block size. * **Wide width** – increases the block width beyond the content size. * **Full width** – extends the block to cover the full width of the screen. * **Align left** – make the block left-aligned. * **Align center** – make the block center-aligned. * **Align right** – make the block right-aligned. **Edit URL** ![Edit URL button on the Pocket Casts Embed block toolbar](https://wordpress.org/ documentation/files/2022/11/podcast-casts-edit-1.png) The **Edit URL** button only appears after you have embedded the podcast content.

To access the Pocket Casts Embed block settings panel, click the **Settings **button at the top-right corner of the WordPress editor. Alternatively, click the **More options** or three dots icon in the Pocket Casts Embed block toolbar and select ** Show more settings**. **Media settings** ![Media settings for the Pocket Casts Embed block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/ files/2022/11/media-settings.png) The Media settings option allows you to control the behavior of the Pocket Casts Embed block when viewed from a smaller device, such as a mobile phone screen. The option only appears after you have embedded the podcast content. The Media settings option is active by default. When you turn the toggle switch off, the Pocket Casts Embed block may not preserve its aspect ratio when the browser’s window is resized. Meanwhile, if the option is active, the block will maintain its aspect ratio regardless of the browser’s window size. **Advanced** ![Additional CSS Class(es) field for the Pocket Casts Embed block](https://wordpress. org/documentation/files/2022/11/css-classes-1.png) The Advanced section allows you to add CSS class(es) to the Pocket Casts Embed block. Therefore, you can insert custom CSS styles into the block. ## 󠀁[Changelog](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/pocket-casts-embed/?output_format=md#changelog)󠁿 * Updated 2026-04-06 - Removed incorrect reference to premium Pocket Casts account (props to @katodea @awetz583) * Created 2022-11-25 ## Was this article helpful?
