Embed Google Forms
Hi all,
I'm using the Multimedia Embed function to embed Google Forms into my course. This all works perfectly well in Chrome, but when I open the program in Safari or Firefox, the browser won't display the form. The space remains white.
When I Inspect the Elements on page, the error I get is Load denied by X-Frame-Options.
Is this a known issue?
Hi, Bart!
I used the formula
<iframe src="URL"></iframe>. Just replaceURLwith the link for the content you want to embed.For the embedded form in the course I shared with you above, I used this embed code:
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdc2GG9wy8MYpZ0nvBeT8qUfgUf0ZylBNAGPs-JofJnHzDIAA/viewform?usp=sf_link"></iframe>Where in Rise do I actually physically put this code?
Hi Alli!
When choosing a new block to add,- Select Multimedia > Embed
- An embedded Vimeo placeholder block will be added
- Click Edit in the top left corner of this block
- Under the Content Tab, click Change on the far right
- This will open up the field to add in your code and replace the Vimeo placeholder content
If you have any trouble with your embed code, check out these ways to Fix Invalid Embed Code.
Hope that helps!
Just a quick update in case this comes up again for someone else- the issue was that I had the required sign in option checked in settings.
Thank you for this post. I have the required sign in option checked and inform students to be sure they are logged in to their required Google account when they begin the Rise course. Does this meant that Safari cannot be used as their browser if they need to complete a Google Form with sign in required within the Rise course? Thank you!
You should be fine, provided that they sign in.
My issue was that I was using browsers that I don't usually use, so I wasn't signed in.
I found that Google forms added a bit that messed up the embed. I showed it in bold below. Once I deleted that, all was well.

Hi Kristie!
I added a sample Google Form to this Rise 360 course. Can you see the form if you view the course in Safari?
If you're still unable to see the form you created, you may need to adjust the settings of your form. Here's how:
- Open the Google Form in edit mode.
- Click the Settings icon at the top-right of the window.
- Under the General tab, un-check the "Restrict to users in the [company name] and trusted domains]" option.
Let me know if that helps you!
I followed the direction in the e-Learning course to sign into Google and was able to access the form in Safari.
Hi Bart!
I created a simple Google form that does not require sign-in. Please test this link in your browser, and let me know if you have any trouble viewing the form.
Hi Carlye!
Try using the formula
<iframe src="URL"></iframe>. Just replaceURLwith the link for the Google Doc you want to embed.Let me know if you have any trouble with that!
So I take it that Google Forms is a no-go if you want users to access without signing in to their Google account. In Google Forms/Settings/General I have "Requires sign in" deselected. The form does not appear in Rise. I've done the same exercise using JotForm and the form appears in Rise as expected.
That works for me thanks. What's your secret? Would you mind sending/posting the iframe code you used?
Thanks for your help! My Google Form is now working properly. I'm not sure what the problem was. It may have been a case of some "curly" quotation marks sneaking into my code.
Does this work for any PDF in Google Drive as well? Im trying this and I get an error "drive.google.com refused to connect."
Hi Wesley, this will work as long as you set the PDF in Google Drive to the setting below:
If for security reasons you don't want to change the setting to that, I would suggest to embed the PDF directly in Rise:
1. Click on All Blocks
2. Click on Multimedia>File Attachment
Thanks, I tried that, but it doesn’t work when I use the iframe with google docs.
