A neighbourhood comes to life through the people who use it. A small square can become a meeting place, a stage, or the start of a familiar daily walk.

Give readers a reason to stay

Article engagement, in context

Relevant media can turn a quick scan into a closer read. The value comes from what an embed adds to the article.

Show, then explain

An interview or demonstration lets readers see what the article describes, then return to the writing with more context.

Keep the source close

An original post or audio clip gives readers something to explore within the article instead of immediately opening another page.

Vary the pace

A well-placed embed creates a natural pause in a longer read. Readers can watch, listen, or explore before continuing.

Included in the process

Human stories. Richer articles.

You are not assembling embeds or writing around empty placeholders. Monok handles the article and its media together.

FAQ

Media embeds in articles

Monok supports video, social posts, audio, maps, and data embeds. Sources include YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Maps, Datawrapper, and Polymarket. The full supported source list appears above.

Yes. In your feed’s Media embeds settings, choose All Media Embeds, Video Only, Social Media Only, or Specific Sources. Specific Sources lets you select individual platforms from the supported list.

Yes. Choose Occasionally, One Per Article, Minimal, Moderate, or Excessive. These preferences guide the amount of media used; the right balance depends on the article and its length.

Yes. Choose Smart Placement or Section Ends. Smart Placement integrates media into the story, while Section Ends places it at the end of a section.

Yes. Disable Media embeds in your feed settings to exclude media embeds from those articles.

Relevant video, audio, and social posts give readers more ways to understand and explore a story without immediately leaving the article. That can encourage longer visits and continued reading. The effect depends on relevance, placement, your audience, and page performance; simply adding more media does not guarantee better retention.

No. Monok provides human-written articles on autopilot, with media selected as part of the content process. Set your feed preferences rather than assembling each article yourself.

The final appearance depends on the source platform and your publishing setup. Your CMS, theme, and consent settings can affect how an embed renders. The previews here illustrate supported media rather than live third-party widgets.

Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.
