# Embed

The embed component helps with content embedding.

The embed component syntax is similar to many other Retype components. The !embed keyword is used to specify the component and a link to the resource is included.

[!embed](link)

The link is the full URL to the embedded resource. For instance, embeding a YouTube or Vimeo video would require the following component syntax:

[!embed](https://www.youtube.com/embed/C0DPdy98e4c)

The above Retype component would render as follows:

The following options allow for customization of the embed component.


# AllowFullScreen

Typically, this attribute is used by embeded videos, such as a YouTube or Vimeo, to enable the Full screen button.

The default value of allowFullScreen is true. Setting to false will remove or disable the full screen button.

You do not need to explicitly enable the full screen option for videos. By default, the button will be enabled when a Retype [!embed] component is used.

[!embed](https://www.youtube.com/embed/C0DPdy98e4c)

To explicitly remove or disable the full screen option, include allowFullScreen="false" in your [!embed] component configuration.
