Embeds

Embed external media with a single line. Write embed: followed by a URL — sitemd detects the provider and renders a responsive embed automatically.

No iframes, no HTML, no configuration. Just the URL.

Supported providers

sitemd auto-detects these providers from the URL:

Provider Example URL
YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=ID or youtu.be/ID
Vimeo vimeo.com/123456
X / Twitter x.com/user/status/123 or twitter.com/user/status/123
Reddit reddit.com/r/sub/comments/ID/title
Instagram instagram.com/p/ID or instagram.com/reel/ID
LinkedIn linkedin.com/posts/user-activity-ID or linkedin.com/embed/feed/update/urn:li:share:ID
TikTok tiktok.com/@user/video/ID
Spotify open.spotify.com/track/ID, album/ID, playlist/ID, episode/ID
CodePen codepen.io/user/pen/ID
Images Any URL ending in .png, .jpg, .gif, .webp, .avif, or .svg

Any URL not matching a known provider or image extension renders as a generic iframe. For image resizing, cropping, filters, and galleries, see Images.

Usage

Write embed: on its own line followed by the full URL:

Some text above the video.

embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

More text below.

Each embed stands alone — unlike buttons, consecutive embeds are not grouped together.
