Questions
Can I embed a website on the board?
Yes, when the site allows it. Paste its link or its embed code into the Embed. Google Slides, Docs and Drive, Canva, Spotify, Desmos and Padlet allow it; another site may not.
Why does a page stay blank?
Some sites do not allow other pages to show them, and a browser does not say so. For a site off its list, the widget shows Open in a new tab, which opens the page in its own tab.
Can I show a Google Slides or Docs file?
Yes. Paste the link you share it with, and the Embed shows the file's own embeddable page. A file that only you can open may stay blank; share it so anyone with the link can view it.
Can a page I embed reach my screens?
No. Each page runs apart from the board, in a frame that cannot read your screens or take the board's tab away, and it is not sent the address of your board.
