You can embed a lot of different online content within Tape's dashboard apps — from video and audio players to Loom videos, Figma designs, and entire Miro boards.
Tapes's embedded services help users consolidate their tools and information in one place, reducing the need for switching between multiple apps and tabs.
Embeds are really useful for adding the same content to many dashboard apps. This way, you only need to make changes in one place, and all the dashboard apps will update. Simply create your content on a website, for example, and then use Tape's embed block to include this URL in your dashboard apps, even in different organizations.
