Embed YouTube videos

Last updated on Aug 10, 2026

Copy a YouTube URL and paste it directly into your file to add playable video content.

Add dynamic video content to your Adobe Express files by embedding YouTube videos directly into your designs. The embedded video remains playable, letting viewers play content without leaving the page.

Navigate to the YouTube video you want to embed.

Right-click anywhere on the video player and select Copy video URL.

In Adobe Express, open the file where you want to add the video.

Right-click on the canvas and select Paste.

Drag the corner handles to resize the embedded video player to fit your design.

Select and drag the video to reposition it on the canvas as needed.

Note

If the video doesn't embed automatically, verify you're using a standard YouTube video URL (youtube.com/watch or the shortened youtu.be link).
