Embed Videos

If you want to embed videos in Discord, you will have to take note of the video formats Discord accepts. Right off the bat, Discord may accept the sharing of every video file format. However, it becomes a little complicated when you want to embed a video in the chat and have Discord play the video in-app. 

With that said, acceptable formats when sharing a video for embedding on Discord are MP4, WebMD, or MOV formats. Discord also accepts FLAC Files, but only on Desktop version and not on Mobile app.

Embed Links

Step 1: Log in to your Discord account using a web browser on your PC. Then, navigate to your server list which is on the left side.

Step 2: Select the server you intend to send the link to, and right-click on it.

Step 3: Then hover your mouse over the server settings option to select Integrations.

Step 4: Next, Click on “Create Webhook”.

Step 5: Create a name for the Webhook and then select the text channel you would like to use

Step 6: Click “Copy Webhook URL” in order to copy the link.

Step 7: Then go back to your dashboard on Discord in your web browser once you have generated your link.

Step 8: Paste the copied link into the Webhook URL section and scroll down to the embeds section.

Step 9: Then click on the plus (+) icon which will expand the section, to make an embed.
