If you want to embed a website that is not supported by the embed block, you can try to use the Iframe block. How to use:
- Create a new Iframe block
- Paste either either the url of the website you want to embed or the html code that the website provides for embedding.
- Save the page and preview the Iframe on the course material
- If needed, change the iframe height from the sidebar
Note that even if you provide the HTML for the embed, we will only take the url from it, and put it into a sandboxed Iframe. If the html you provide contains for example script tags, we won't load them security reasons. If you need better integration than what the Iframe block provides we'll need to add support to your website to the embed block.
Please also make sure that the terms and conditions of the webpage you're trying to embed allows you to embed that page.
