Adding Embeds to your Blog Post

Embedding content from third-party services, such as CodePen, Twitter, Youtube, GitHub gists, and more on Hashnode.

Updated over a week ago

You can insert any of the Hashnode-supported embeds into your articles by using the slash (/) command /embed or using the markdown syntax %[content to embed URL].


Here's how to use the different supported embeds in your articles:

Embedding Using Slash Command

You can use the /embed command on the editor to embed a tweet, YouTube video, GitHub gist and any of the Hashnode-supported embeds.
