What is embed in Substack?
Embed in Substack refers to the feature that allows users to incorporate or integrate various types of content into their newsletters or posts. This could include multimedia content such as videos, audios, tweets, or other social media posts. The purpose of this feature is to enhance the richness and interactivity of the content, making it more engaging for the readers.
To use this feature, users simply need to paste the URL of the content they wish to embed directly into the editor. Substack automatically recognizes the URL and embeds the content into the post. This feature makes it easy for writers to share relevant content from other platforms, thus providing a more comprehensive and engaging reading experience for their subscribers.

Embedding a video in Substack is a straightforward process. First, you need to have the video uploaded on a platform like YouTube or Vimeo. Once the video is uploaded, you can get the embed code from the platform. On YouTube, for example, you can find this by clicking on the 'Share' button below the video, then selecting 'Embed'. This will give you a code that you can copy.
To embed this code into your Substack post, go to your Substack dashboard and start a new post. In the post editor, click on the '+' button to add a new element and select 'Embed'. A box will appear where you can paste the embed code you copied from the video platform. After pasting the code, click 'Insert' and the video will appear in your post. You can then continue writing your post as normal.
