# Embedding Content with HTML

Embedding is the process of integrating content. You can embed content from YouTube, Padlet, H5P, and other sites that have "embed codes," or a block of HTML that renders a visual element from another site.

**Note**: HTML object cannot be added to assessments or tools.
