Steps to Embed a track from Mixcloud:

1. Find your track link on Mixcloud

In the web player select the track and click on the “Share” button.

2. In the share section, highlight the track link and copy it

3. Add a Mixcloud embed block to your page/post

Block Settings

Besides the Advanced section, the Mixcloud embed has only one setting in the “Block Settings” sidebar: Media Settings.

Media Settings

Via the Media Settings, you can control the behavior of your post embed when viewed from a smaller device, like on a phone screen.

The Toggle switch turns on or off the resize functionality for smaller devices. The default setting is “on” or blue.

“Off:” This embed may not preserve its aspect ratio when the browser is resized. In the off position, the toggle switch is gray.

“On:” This embed will preserve its aspect ratio when the browser is resized. The toggle switch turns blue in the “On” position.

Advanced

The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit.
