How to Embed Video in Notion

The simplest way to add searchable video to Notion in 2026

The Problem

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.

What You Need

  • Clean embeds that play inline without ads or third-party branding
  • Auto-generated transcripts so video content is discoverable alongside text
  • Adaptive streaming that works on any device and connection speed
  • No viewer tracking by a third-party platform within your internal docs
  • A player that loads fast and does not bloat the Notion page

How to Do It with host.video

Step 1: Upload your video

Upload meeting recordings, walkthroughs, or training content. Auto-transcription and auto-chaptering run on every upload.

Step 2: Copy the embed URL

Grab the video URL or iframe embed code from your dashboard. Custom domains keep links clean and professional.

Step 3: Embed in Notion

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.

Step 4: Search and navigate

Auto-generated transcripts and chapters make it easy for team members to find specific moments without watching the entire video.

Why This Matters

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.

Alternatives

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.
