Instructions are below, and you can find a full list of the different types of media that can be embedded on WordPress.org\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/documentation\/category\/embed-blocks\/\">Embed Blocks<\/a>&nbsp;page. There are also a few embeds not included on that list that are available on the OpenLab. These are listed at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. To embed a video or other media to your site from a video-hosting site such as YouTube or Vimeo, simply copy the URL of the video into a new Block. The link should immediately convert into an embedded form of your linked media. Other media will embed the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. By selecting the block with your cursor, you can add a caption, change formatting, and make other edits to the block using the block toolbar that appears on the right-hand side of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/help-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/03\/AddingVideo1.png?resize=621%2C488&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/help-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/03\/AddingVideo1.png?w=621&amp;ssl=1 621w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/help-documentation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/03\/AddingVideo1.png?resize=300%2C236&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3.
