Go back to the list of Blocks

With the Spotify Embed block, you can embed tracks, podcasts, playlists & albums into your posts and pages. You need a Spotify account to be able to listen to entire tracks. For users who are not logged in on their Spotify account, the Spotify Play button embed plays a 30-second long audio preview, and then the users are prompted to either login or to sign up. You don’t need a Spotify account to embed a track, podcast, playlist or album.

Steps to Embed a track from Spotify

In the Web Player select the track and click on the three dots (options menu). Click “Copy Song Link”.

Alternatively, on the Desktop application select the track and click on the options menu. Click on “Share” and then click on “Copy Song Link”.

5. Click on “Preview” to see how it will look on the front-end.
