    <iframe
    src="YOUR_NOTION_URL"
    style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;"
    ></iframe>
    </div>

    Media Queries

    .notion-embed {
    height: 800px;
    }

    @media (max-width: 768px) {
    .notion-embed {
    height: 500px;
    }
    }

    @media (max-width: 480px) {
