Embeds

Paste a link on its own line and Orbit shows it live in the page: a Figma design you can pan, a Loom video you can play, a form people can fill in without leaving the page.

What can be embedded

Source	What shows
Figma	Designs, prototypes, boards and slides
Loom	Videos
Vimeo	Videos
Microsoft Forms	The form, ready to fill in
Power BI	Reports
Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files in SharePoint or OneDrive	A read-only preview

YouTube and Microsoft Stream videos already embed the same way.

Office files open with each reader’s own Microsoft sign-in, so people only see files they already have access to. Forms and Power BI may ask readers to sign in to Microsoft inside the embed.

Microsoft Planner, Whiteboard and SharePoint pages can’t be embedded. Microsoft only lets its own apps show them, so Orbit adds these as links.

Add an embed

• Paste a link on an empty line. It becomes an embed straight away. A link pasted inside a sentence stays a link.
• Type /embed, paste the link into the box and press Enter or Embed.

If a link can’t be embedded, Orbit adds it as an ordinary link and tells you why.

Work with an embed

Hover an embed to see where it’s from. Open takes you to the original. The ••• menu has:

• Open in… the original app
• Copy link
• Show as link, which turns the embed into a named link. Put the cursor in that link and choose Show as embed to bring it back.
• Delete

How embeds are saved

An embed is just its link on its own line, so the page stays readable in any markdown tool:

Embeds keep a fixed size for each kind of content: videos are widescreen, and forms, reports and documents get a set height.
