The Embedded media project view lets you bring key documents, dashboards, and other media directly into your project so your team can work from one place. You add the view using a shareable link from a supported tool so teammates do not need to switch tabs to read or work in shared content.
Use embed media when a document, deck, or working spreadsheet is central to a project, such as a campaign brief, a design hub, or a reporting dashboard.
You can embed most publicly accessible or permission based links from supported tools. This includes productivity tools like Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides; video tools like Loom, YouTube, and Vimeo; design and whiteboarding tools like Figma, Canva, Miro, Mural, and Whimsical; analytics tools like Tableau and Looker; and research tools like Airtable and Dovetail.
To add an embedded media view, open your project and click the plus button next to your existing project views such as List or Board. Select Embedded media, paste a supported link such as a Google Doc, Loom video, or Tableau dashboard, then name the view and save it.
Asana creates an interactive embed inside your project using the link you provided.
Once the view is set up, you can scroll, navigate, and interact with the embedded content inside Asana in a way that is similar to the original app. Any changes you make from the embedded view are saved back to the original file.
For supported tools such as Google Docs or Figma, you can edit directly in the embed when you have edit access in the source tool. If you only have view access in tools like Google Drive, Airtable, or Figma, Asana shows the file in view-only mode.
Embedding content in Asana does not change the file's permissions. Teammates still need the right access in the original tool in order to view or edit the embed.
If someone cannot see or edit the embedded content, check the sharing settings in the source tool first. Your Asana admin may also limit embeds from specific domains, depending on your organization's security policies.
