# Embedding

Koel supports embedding tracks, playlists (including smart playlists), albums, and artists. To create a new embed,
right-click on the track/playlist/album/artist to bring up the context menu and select "Embed…". The Create Embed dialog
will appear.

<img alt="Create Embed dialog" src="../assets/img/interface/create-embed-dialog.avif" style="width: 100%; max-width: 650px;"/>

Here you can pick the layout of the embed: either showing both the banner and the tracklist or showing only the banner.
Users with a [Koel Plus](/plus/what-is-koel-plus) <PlusBadge /> license can additionally choose a theme and toggle the
Preview mode, which plays a 30-second sample instead of the full track.

<img alt="Create Embed dialog in Koel Plus" src="../assets/img/interface/create-embed-dialog-plus.avif" style="width: 100%; max-width: 650px;"/>

Once you're happy with the embed, click the "Copy Code" button to copy the embed code to your clipboard. Now you can
paste it anywhere you want, e.g., in a blog post, and visitors will see the embed and be able to play the included
track(s) without having to log in.

:::warning Legal Notice
Embedded tracks are available publicly by nature, so make sure you have the rights to distribute them.

:::info Allow iframes
Since the embed is an iframe, make sure your Koel's webserver sends the proper `X-Frame-Options` response header—or
doesn't send one at all, which would allow the iframe to be embedded _anywhere_. If you're not familiar with the
concept, read more about it
[here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options).
