Link cards

If you create a Trello card with a link as the name, the card gets a bit fancy. Trello integrates with certain tools to embed links on your board, making it even easier to interact with other tools you use.

For example, if you paste a YouTube video link as a card name, the card shows an embedded YouTube video on your Trello board.

A thumbnail appears with the video and the title below, as well as a Full screen view button. Clicking the button opens a YouTube video player, allowing you to watch the video from YouTube without leaving your Trello screen.

Try this out with other links you use regularly! Creating a new card with a Google Sheets or Google Doc link as the name allows you to preview and edit the Google Doc without leaving Trello.
