Smart Embed feature refers to the ability to display content from one website or application within another, allowing for a more visually appealing and interactive experience for users. It can be easily done by copy-paste the social posts link into the Editor of the PubLive Dashboard. When you paste the link of a social media post, the Smart embed automatically generates a preview of the webpage, showing its title, description, and image. This gives viewers a glimpse of the content before they decide to click on the link.
Smart embeds can also display other types of media, such as videos, audio players, interactive maps, slideshows, and more. They enhance the user experience by providing a more dynamic and engaging way to interact with content without leaving the website.

Increased Engagement: s embeds make content more visually appealing and interactive. When users encounter visually enticing previews, such as images, videos, or interactive elements, they are more likely to engage with the content and click on the link to view the full content.
