Embed a video or article on your site

Embed a Clevera video or article on your website, WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Notion or Confluence. Covers the HTML code and link options, every embed setting and default, sizing, and why an embed stops working.

Updated 5 min read

Put a Clevera video or article on your website, help center, Notion page or Confluence space. The embedded player always shows the latest version, and views from it count in your analytics.

Before you start

  • Embeds use the video's share link. If the link is off, the Embed tab says "Embeds use the share link" with Turn on link. See Share a video with a link.
  • You need permission to edit the video or article.
  • To embed, your site or tool must accept an HTML snippet or an embed link.

Embed a video or article

  1. Open the Embed tab

    In the editor, click Share, then Embed. A live preview sits on the left and the options on the right.

    The Embed tab with a live preview, Title and details and Chapters switches, and the embed code.

  2. Set the options

    Turn Title and details or Chapters on or off, or pick the article's theme and height. The preview updates as you go. See Embed options.

  3. Choose how to embed

    Under Embed with, pick:

    • HTML code — "Paste into any page, or a Custom HTML or Embed block in WordPress, Webflow or Framer."
    • Link — "Paste into Notion, Confluence or any tool that turns a link into an embed."

  4. Copy and paste

    Click Copy code or Copy link. The button changes to Copied. Paste it where you want the player. See Where to paste it.

Embed options

Which options you see depends on what you're embedding.

Option What it does Default Shown for
Title and details Shows the title and details "Over the player before it starts." On Videos
Chapters Shows chapter "Titles in the timeline." On How-to and demo videos with chapters
Article theme Light or Dark article page Light Articles, or a video with an article
Frame height Height of the frame in pixels, 300–2,000 800 px Articles, or a video with an article

The tab also has the Article below the video (or Video above the article) row. A companion you choose here shows on the share page too. See Attach a companion article.

Social clips, teasers and polished recordings don't have chapters, so the Chapters switch doesn't appear for them.

How the embed sizes itself

You embed On your page
A video The player fills the width of its container and keeps a 16:9 shape at any size. "Live preview. On your page the player fills its container at 16:9."
An article, or a video with an article A frame as wide as its container and as tall as Frame height. A small script in the code then grows the frame to fit the whole article, so it reads like part of your page.
The Embed tab for a video with an article, showing Article theme and Frame height.

If your site removes scripts from pasted code, the article frame keeps its fixed height and the article scrolls inside it. Raise Frame height if that feels cramped.

Where to paste it

The Embed with Link option for Notion and Confluence, with Copy link.
Where What to paste How
Any website HTML code Paste it into the page's HTML where the player should go.
WordPress HTML code Add a Custom HTML block and paste the code.
Webflow HTML code Add an Embed element and paste the code.
Framer HTML code Add an Embed component and paste the code.
Notion Link Type /embed, choose Embed, paste the link and click Embed link.
Confluence Link Paste the link on its own line and choose the Embed view, or use an iframe macro if your site has one.
Other tools Link or HTML code Look for an "embed", "iframe" or "custom HTML" block.

Keep embeds working

  • Edits show up on their own. The embed plays the current version. There's no need to paste new code after you edit.
  • Turning the link off stops every embed. They show "This video isn’t available" and "The owner has stopped sharing this video." Turn the link back on and the same embeds work again.
  • Deleting the video stops its embeds. They show "This video has been removed."
  • Branding follows your plan. On Free, embeds show Clevera branding. On Starter and above they don't, and you can add your own logo. See Remove the Clevera watermark.
  • Views count. Plays in an embed count as views, the same as on the share page. The live preview in the Embed tab doesn't count. See Read video analytics.
