I believe this is simply called embedded content.

  • That's exactly what it's called. In fact, Google uses that exact term on YouTube as one of the share options.

If you're looking for technical term, that's called an iFrame. They allow you to make requests and display content from content external to your website.

  • Written as iframe, as iFrame is a video format by Apple.

  • It's not always an iframe though. It's usually an embedded object of some sort.
