The simplest way to add searchable video to Notion in 2026
Teams increasingly use Notion as their internal wiki and documentation hub, and embedding video in Notion pages is common for onboarding, training, and meeting recordings. Notion supports YouTube and Vimeo embeds natively, but YouTube shows ads and recommended videos that distract from the document context. Uploading video files directly to Notion is limited — no transcoding, no adaptive streaming, no transcripts, and no analytics. For a tool meant to centralize team knowledge, the video experience is an afterthought.
Upload meeting recordings, walkthroughs, or training content. Auto-transcription and auto-chaptering run on every upload.
Grab the video URL or iframe embed code from your dashboard. Custom domains keep links clean and professional.
Paste the URL into a Notion page. Notion auto-renders supported embed URLs as inline players. Alternatively, use the /embed command with the iframe code.
Auto-generated transcripts and chapters make it easy for team members to find specific moments without watching the entire video.
Video in Notion pages turns static documentation into rich, navigable knowledge. But only if the video experience is clean and the content is searchable. Auto-transcription means team members can find the right moment in a 45-minute recording without scrubbing through it manually. No ads or branding means the page stays professional.
YouTube embeds work in Notion but show ads and suggested videos. Vimeo embeds are cleaner but require a paid plan for embedding. Loom integrates well with Notion for screen recordings but is not designed for hosting libraries of existing video content.
