If you've been working with Joomla for a while, you probably know how tricky embeds used to be.
Before OSEmbed came along, getting external content like Spotify songs into your articles wasn’t exactly smooth sailing.
In this quick tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to easily embed your favorite Spotify tracks right inside your Joomla articles.
Step #1. Install OSEmbed
- First, download OSEmbed. You can go with the Free or Pro version.
- Install it on your Joomla site just like any other extension.
Step #2. Get the Spotify song URL
- Head over to Spotify and click on an artist you like. I’m using Lady Gaga for this example:
- Find the track you want, click the three dots, and select Share > Copy Song Link from the menu.
- Your Spotify URL should look like this:
https://open.spotify.com/track/1QV6tiMFM6fSOKOGLMHYYg?si=22900ac56d004ae4
Nice work! You're ready to drop this URL into your Joomla article.
Step #3. Add the Spotify URL to a Joomla article
- Login to your Joomla admin dashboard.
- Paste that Spotify URL directly into the article where you want the song to appear:
- Click Save or Save & Close.
- The Spotify song will display beautifully on the frontend:
