Embedding Media (Video, Figma, GitHub)

Sometimes text isn’t enough. The Documentation theme fully supports embedded media to make your documentation more interactive and engaging.


πŸŽ₯ Embedding Videos

  • YouTube / Vimeo:
    1. Simply paste the video URL into the editor.
    2. WordPress automatically converts it into an embedded player.
  • Self-Hosted Videos:
    1. Use the Video Block.
    2. Upload your video or select from the media library.

βœ… Mobile responsive out of the box.


🎨 Embedding Figma Files

Showcase live design prototypes:

  1. Copy the Figma file share URL.
  2. Use the Embed Block or Figma-specific block (if installed).
  3. Paste the URL β€” it will auto-render inside the page.

Tip: Make sure Figma permissions are set to “Anyone with the link can view.”


πŸ’» Embedding GitHub Repositories

For technical documentation:

  • Paste a GitHub repo link directly into the editor for a neat preview.
  • Or embed specific files and gists using the GitHub Gist Block (plugin or manual embed).

πŸ“’ Why Use Embedded Media?

  • Video tutorials boost comprehension
  • Design previews reduce back-and-forth
  • Code and project embeds keep everything in one place

πŸ’‘ Tip: Keep embeds light. Too many embeds on a single page can slow down loading time.
