Insert your embed code
Next you will need to switch over to the Slides editor and paste your embed code. If you press CMD/CTRL + V in the Slides editor with an <iframe> embed code in your clipboard we will automatically create an iframe block for you.
If you prefer, you can also click the "Iframe" option in the sidebar to insert iframes.
