What Is Embedding?


When you want to display data from outside your subaccount on your dashboard, that is embedding. If a different platform supports embedded content, you can display various elements like web pages, Google Data Studio reports, Google Docs,  slideshows, calendars, Loom videos, YouTube videos, social media posts, feeds, and more.



Some platforms do not allow embedding of their content, they block it.
