How to: Add embeds to a project

An embed shows your video, audio or post directly on your project page. Paste a link into your project description and Twine turns it into a player. It works with YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Instagram, TikTok and Behance.


Add an embed to your project


Copy the link from the site you want to embed (the sections below show where to find it for each one). Go to Manage projects and click Edit project, or start a new project. Paste the link on its own line in the Description box. Click the Preview tab to check how it looks, then click Save changes. On a new project, click Create project instead.






Always copy the link. The code from a site’s Embed option doesn’t work.



For any site, you can copy the link from your browser’s address bar. These are the other ways to get it.
