TABLE OF CONTENTS
Notion is a remarkable tool for organizing your life, work, and creative projects. From notes to project management, it helps keep everything in one place. But did you know you can make your Notion pages even more dynamic by adding external content?
One powerful way to enhance your Notion workspace is by embedding videos and even entire YouTube playlists. This means you can have your learning materials, favorite music, or tutorial series right where you need them, without ever leaving your Notion page. It's perfect for creating engaging dashboards, learning hubs, or even just curating content for yourself.
Imagine having a playlist of coding tutorials next to your project notes, or a workout video series accessible directly from your fitness tracker. Embedding YouTube content transforms your Notion pages into richer, more interactive environments.
So now let’s get started.
Steps to Embed a YouTube Playlist in Notion
Follow these simple steps, and you'll easily embed your favorite YouTube playlists and videos directly into your Notion pages. This will make your workspace more interactive and keep all your content in one convenient spot.
Step #1: Get the YouTube Playlist or Video Link
First, you need the shareable link for the YouTube playlist or video you want to embed. Open YouTube in your web browser. Navigate to the specific playlist or video you wish to use. For a playlist, make sure you are on the playlist page, not just watching a video that is part of a playlist.
Locate the "Share" button. It usually looks like an arrow pointing to the right. Click this button to open a small window. In this window, you will see the unique URL for your content. Click the "Copy" button next to the URL to save it to your clipboard. If you're embedding a single video, the process is the same: find the video, click "Share," and then "Copy."
Step #2: Open Your Notion Page
Now, switch over to your Notion workspace. Open the specific page where you want to embed the YouTube playlist or video. You can embed content on any Notion page, whether it's a new page you just created or an existing one. Make sure you have editing access to the page. Find the exact spot on your page where you'd like the embedded content to appear. This could be at the top, bottom, or anywhere in between.
Step #3: Paste the Link and Create the Embed
Once you are on your Notion page at the desired location, paste the copied YouTube link, and Notion will recognize it as a web link. A small menu will pop up directly below the pasted URL. This menu will offer you a few options, such as "Dismiss," "Create Bookmark," or "Create Embed."
To display the YouTube playlist or video directly on your page, you need to select the "Create Embed" option. Click on "Create Embed," and Notion will automatically convert the link into a playable embedded window.
Step #4: Adjust the Embedded Content (Optional)
After you've created the embed, you might want to adjust its size or position. Hover your mouse over the embedded YouTube player. You'll see handles appear on the sides of the embed block. You can click and drag these handles to make the player wider or narrower, fitting it better into your page layout.
To move the embed block to a different location on your page, simply click and drag the entire block. You can also click the six-dot icon that appears when you hover over the block to access more options, like duplicating or deleting the embed.
Wrapping Up: How to Embed a YouTube Playlist in Notion
