# Embed a Dropbox video using Embed code

Embed Dropbox videos to any Pop-up template to deliver more information to users. Embed the video in the description section. For more information on Whatfix Pop-up templates, see [Choose the Pop-up template](/studio/docs/choosing-the-pop-up-template).

Adding a video embed code in a Pop-up is a 2-step process.

- [Step 1: Get the video embed code](/docs/embedding-a-dropbox-video-using-embed-code#step-get-the-video-embed-code)
- [Step 2: Insert the video embed code in the Pop-up using Visual Editor](/docs/embedding-a-dropbox-video-using-embed-code#Step-insert-the-video-embed-code-in-popup)

## Step 1: Get the video embed code

Note:

Dropbox does not have an in-built embed option to insert videos. However, we can manually create one.

Use the following steps to get the video embed code:

1. Go to the location where the video file is located in your Dropbox account.
2. Hover your cursor over the video and click the **Copy link** icon. ![Share video links from your Dropbox account](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Dropbox_share_videolink.png)
3. Paste the copied link on a text editor. ![studio_dropbox_link_added_raw](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/studio_dropbox_link_added_raw.png)
4. Remove any parameters after the question mark and replace them with **raw=1**. ![studio_dropbox_link_unedited](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/studio_dropbox_link_unedited.png)
5. Add the edited video link to the **src** parameter in the following code snippet to obtain the embed iframe link.

```plaintext
<iframe src="video_link" height="480px" width="640px" allowfullscreen></iframe>
```

The final embed link appears as follows: ![studio_dropbox_link_in_iframe](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/studio_dropbox_link_in_iframe.png)
