Hugo ships with several built-in shortcodes for rich content, along with a privacy config and a set of simple shortcodes that enable static and no-JS versions of various social media embeds.
YouTube
Below is an example using the built-in youtube shortcode.

This example uses the twitter_simple shortcode to output a Tweet. It requires two named parameters user and id.
{{< twitter_simple user="DesignReviewed" id="1085870671291310081" >}}
Alternatively, the tweet shortcode can be used to embed a fully marked up Twitter card.
Gist
The gist shortcode can be used to embed a GitHub Gist. It requires two unnamed parameters: the username and ID of the Gist.

Vimeo
The vimeo_simple shortcode will embed a Vimeo video.
