With this feature, you can add additional content on your pages, such as chat plugins, videos hosted on other platforms but YouTube, Wistia, Facebook, or Vimeo (for these four, you can use the Video element as seen in our article here: https://d.pr/tXXqov), iFrames, image galleries, or sliders, and many other HTML widgets.
You can find fully custom video portals, podcasts, photo slideshows, carousel,s and more on the following websites:
You can access the HTML element from the left sidebar:
If you do not see the option at the bottom, you can zoom out your browser or scroll on the left sidebar as shown in the GIF above.
By clicking on the HTML Element Button, you will generate a preset HTML block that will appear on your landing page. The block looks like this:
To embed HTML, click on the “Edit” button or double-click the HTML box. You will then be presented with a field for entering your content. After you've added custom content to the HTML element, it will be displayed like the image shown below:

Just keep in mind you should only use this feature if you're confident in your skills because it can affect the design of your page and sometimes its functionality as well.
- While some HTML embedded codes may render in Preview Mode, we strongly advise testing them in a live environment. In case you're not ready to publish to your own domain just yet, a great solution is to use our Pagedemo domain, specifically available for live environment testing purposes.
- While we enable our customers to use custom code to implement various non-standard or custom functionality, we do not guarantee the functionality of such code. Instapage’s Support Team cannot offer any coding assistance or troubleshoot the way third-party or custom code behaves. If you need help regarding a third-party snippet that you tried implementing, please contact the provider of the code.
- Embedded elements typically come with specific scripts that dictate their functionality, and they're not inherently integrated into our platform's responsiveness rules. They do not interact with the rest of the page elements, with our native integrations, with our lead collection, or the lead notification emails, and submissions through embedded forms will not be counted by the "Form submissions" option under Conversion Goals. If you embed an element onto the page using code, it does not become part of the page structure from a technical perspective, it sits "on top" of the page, so to speak. The way the element behaves will be controlled by the software that generated it.
