Overview
Embed blocks allow you to insert third-party content (video, audio, images, tweets, etc.) onto your WordPress site. With Gutenberg, you have a generic embed block, as well as a handful of more specific ones for a variety of popular services.

Embed Alignment
All WordPress embeds in Gutenberg can be aligned in three ways:
- left
- center
- right
Left & right alignments will wrap the following text around the embed, while the center alignment will simply center it on the page.
Embed Captions
Every WordPress embed also supports an optional caption displayed beneath the embed. Bold, italic, strikethrough & links are supported in captions.
Additional CSS Class
The only other option for embeds is the ability to add a custom CSS class. This can be found in the advanced settings panel in the right sidebar.
