Logseq Video and Web Embeds

Macro Syntax

Use Logseq macros in block content with {{macro-name parameters}}.

Video Embeds

Embed an online video in its own block:

{{video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID}}

Add a timestamp annotation as a child of the video block. youtube-timestamp accepts seconds.

- {{video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID}}
  - {{youtube-timestamp 263}} Comment at 4:23

• Use {{youtube-timestamp ...}} only in a child block of its video embed.
• Give each {{youtube-timestamp ...}} annotation its own child block, together with the corresponding text. Group transcript fragments into complete sentences or coherent passages rather than copying the transcript API's segment boundaries.
• Convert requested timestamps to seconds before writing the macro.
• When asked to add comments based on video content, fetch the online video's transcript first, then write the comments as timestamp children.
• Load the working-with-bash-and-pyodide skill for supported YouTube and Bilibili transcript commands.
• Local video files do not expose a transcript through web fetch. Tell the user that transcript-based comments cannot be created for local videos.

Tweet Embeds

Embed a post with:

{{tweet https://x.com/USER/status/POST_ID}}

Website Embeds

Use an inline iframe only to embed a website:

<iframe src="https://example.com"></iframe>

• Prefer Markdown for normal content and formatting.
• Do not use HTML except when an iframe is necessary for a website embed.

Avoid

• Do not use the obsolete {{embed ...}} macro. It is unsupported in DB graphs.
