How can I embed content on my forms?
### Embedding

Enhance your forms with rich content by using the "Embed" feature. Simply type / and select "Embed" to seamlessly integrate content from popular services and websites directly into your forms.

## How to use

 1. Start by clicking on a new, empty line of your form and enter the Slash Command "/embed".

 1. Select "Embed" from the dropdown options provided.
 1. In the new block, click into the box labelled "Paste the URL you'd like to embed here".

 1. Type or copy/paste a valid URL that supports [oEmbed](https://oembed.com/). You can find examples in this article under the "Suggested Embed Providers" section.

If your embed is successful, the content will be displayed in the form editor after briefly loading.

## Supported Services

This feature supports any website that implements the [oEmbed](https://oembed.com/) protocol, allowing you to embed content from thousands of providers. If a website supports oEmbed, you can include its content in your forms. For inspiration, here are some popular services you can embed:

 - YouTube
 - Reddit
 - TikTok
 - Canva
 - Miro
 - Giphy
 - Twitter/X posts
 - Instagram posts
 - Google Maps
 - SoundCloud tracks.

*This list is not exhaustive.*

## Gotchas

 - If your content fails to load then it might not support oEmbed protocols. While we'll attempt to iframe the content, if this fails you'll see an error message in the editor.
 - To embed content that isn't supported via oEmbed protocols, you must use Custom HTML - supported with select [pricing plans](https://paperform.co/pricing/).
 - To change the URL for an Embed block, simply delete it and add a new one.
 - Since content from Embed blocks is loaded in the form editor, take care to ensure the content embedded is optimized to prevent page performance issues.
 - Failed embeds won't be shown in the live form.
