Iframe issue in Rise

Hi there,

I am trying  to insert an iframe code within Rise and it's not working. This is the iframe code I am getting from Genially:

<div style="width: 100%;"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 0; height: 0;"><iframe title="ILLUSTRATION CORP ONE PAGER" frameborder="0" width="1200px" height="675px" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;" src="https://viewhttps://view.genial.ly/64f1087595931d0011677930.genial.ly/64f1087595931d0011677930" type="text/html" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" scrolling="yes" allownetworking="all"></iframe> </div> </div>

Suggestions please.

Thanks.

    Hello Stefaniada! I understand you are having issues inserting an iframe code into Rise from Genially.

    I tried the code you shared and I'm getting an error "Please enter a valid URL or iframe." And if I just used the URL from the code, it's telling me "We are unable to generate an embed for this URL. Please check that the URL is valid and the content is publicly accessible." It would seem that Genially is also requiring authentication to access that particular link.

    Are you able to confirm if Genially allows their content to be embedded in frames?

    Hi Stefaniada! I'd like you to try this code instead and see if it works for you:

    <iframe title="ILLUSTRATION CORP ONE PAGER" frameborder="0" width="1200px" height="675px" src="https://view.genial.ly/64f1087595931d0011677930" allowfullscreen="true" scrolling="yes"></iframe>

    Let me know if you encounter any errors.

    Hello,

    I am also having difficulty getting the embedded pdf document to appear in an iframe in my Rise course.  The document is displayed in a browser when accessed directly, but I get the message that Chrome/Edge has blocked the document when accessing the Rise course with the embedded pdf.  I have stripped out all attributes from the iframe except the src, but nothing seems to help.  This document appears within an iframe page with a course published from Lectora.  Do you have any ideas on where else to look to resolve this issue?

    There are actually two issues in the original problem discussed three years ago here:

    1. The iframe src URL is malformed (duplicated https://view and .genial.ly). (as AngeloCruz pointed out!) Even outside Rise, that embed wouldn’t work. 
    2. But even with a corrected URL, Rise embeds are sandboxed and you can’t control iframe attributes. Some Genially content won’t display correctly in Rise due to iframe and cross-domain restrictions.

    Workarounds:

    • Use a direct link button instead of embedding
    • Publish the Genially as a video and embed the video
    • Host the content externally and open it in a new tab
