- Under the video you should see a button called Share or Embed
- Copy the Embed code which should start with
<iframe> - Click the Blocks button

Inserting Wistia Videos
Inserting a Wistia video? You'll need to use the fallback code not the standard embed code.
If you're looking to embed a Wistia video on HelpDocs you'll need to do things a little differently. The code you receive should look like this:
<iframe src="//fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/avk9twrrbn" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" class="wistia_embed" name="wistia_embed" allowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" width="620" height="349"></iframe>
<script src="//fast.wistia.net/assets/external/E-v1.js" async=""></script>
