Question 1

Can I use the Embed app to share a social media post?

Accepted Answer

No, social media channels do not allow you to display content in an external iframe so the sharing of Facebook posts, Instagram posts, etc. will show the message “site doesn’t allow to be embedded into iframe”. Take a look at one of our other social media apps for sharing specific posts, accounts, and channels.

Question 2

What can I use the Embed app for?

Accepted Answer

Mostly, the Embed app is used to share website pages, YouTube videos, or playlists of map displays.

Question 3

The embed code or link I'm using won't work in ScreenCloud, how can I fix this?

Accepted Answer

We recommend if an embed code is not working to first troubleshoot by making sure the correct IFrame code is copied. Secondly, some websites or links may have restrictions placed by the developers for security purposes restricting the link from being used in third-party services. In this case, you may notice a "404 Error" while trying to use the URL or code with ScreenCloud. If there are any security policies or restrictions placed by the website owner, then the link or embed code won't be able to display properly.

Question 4

Why can’t I see my embedded link content on my Smart TV when I can see it in the app preview in my Studio account?

Accepted Answer

The website you’ve embedded may require a newer version of Chromium than your Smart TV or display can support. For example, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS Signage TVs often run on older Chromium versions.
