Using the Embed Component

Use the Embed Component to insert external content on to your page with HTML code. You can embed sound files, images, video, links, and documents, with restrictions.

YouTube, other Google services, and many digital marketing tools used in the western world are restricted in China. Embedding these types of services on your Chinese website can have a negative impact on your site’s performance and slow down overall loading speed. We do not recommend using the Embed Component to insert content hosted on these services on your website.
