thanks for watching, do you mean embeding in Obsidian?
if so this might be what you need:

Oh because you mentioned this post, so I am wondering if you find a solution to this?

Sorry I don’t know what you mean, are you referring to something specific I said in the video?

Thanks for replying! I wonder if you discussed how to embed obsidian notes in notion in your video and I missed it?

Hey Tim,

I didn’t cover that in my video, but it’d be interesting to find out if there’s a way to achieve that.

Maybe someone else has figured it out, but I don’t know of any straight forward solutions other than using Obsidian Publish to embed the link into Notion perhaps
