Web Objects
I'm working with web objects for the first time. Is there a way to take learners directly to the content of a web page so that they don't have to scroll down to find it? There's several paragraphs of unrelated content on this page, and it would be nice if I could somehow bypass irrelevant content and go right to what I want them to see.
Thanks,

Hi Deborah
is it your website? If so, you can add anchor tags in the body of the website where you want them to go and then this can become part of the URL.
Ok thanks!
Same question, but for websites I do not control:
- Any way to go directly to a web cam on a website?
- Any way to make the web cam fill the web object placeholder?
Hi John,
Web objects essentially work by using the iFrame HTML element to load whichever website is declared in the tag. Example of an iFrame:
<iframe src="url" title="description"></iframe>
If you want the slide to directly load a specific section in a website, you'll want to get the full URL to that section. I have not tested this to redirect to a web cam embedded in a website, so you'll want to test this functionality first if it will work inside an iFrame.
You can also check out this article which explains some of the issues that you might encounter when using web objects in Storyline 360.
Once you have had the chance to test the camera; make sure that your LMS will allow you to see the camera. Some may not. If you're using an LMS.
