#22 Embed YouTube Videos

Paste a YouTube link in a special tag — it renders as a playable video right inside your note.

Syntax

Wrap a YouTube URL with {% youtube ... %}:

{% youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ %}

That's it. The video appears as a responsive, embedded player.

Supported URL formats

Format	Example
Standard	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
Short link	https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID
Shorts	https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID

All three formats work — PenPage extracts the video ID automatically.

Privacy

Embedded videos use youtube-nocookie.com — YouTube's enhanced privacy mode. No tracking cookies are set until the viewer actually plays the video.

Tips

• The embed is responsive — it resizes with the page width
• Videos are playable in both the editor and shared/public pages
• If the video doesn't appear, double-check the URL format
