We are able to add Youtube, Sway and Office Mix content using the "Online Videos" ribbon command in OneNote 2016 with Class Notebook Add-in which are played in place when a user accesses them.
We want to be able to do the same and embed iframes of external content via OneNote Class Notebook or Notebook API but couldn't find any documentation for the same.
Please help with the HTML/XML tags/markup to use to do the same.
You can do this via the POST or PATCH ~/pages API by adding the following iframe component in the html request body.
NOTE: This is an example only:
<iframe width="600" height="338" data-original-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-BOSpxYJ9M"></iframe>
The important part is to specify the data-original-src attribute. And note this is the original url of the video (not the embed url e.g. the url fetched in sites like youtube from clicking Share).

I'm trying to embed a youtube livestream chat onto a webpage on my website,
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=hHW1oY26kxQ&embed_domain=localhost" width="480"></iframe>
I'm trying this, but the chat doesn't show up at all, if tried doing embeded domain using a real domain I own, but that doesn't work either.
It seems to me that YouTube disabled the feature to embed a live chat on external websites, but then forgot to update the documentation. Or alternatively, there could be an unfixed bug that broke this feature.
2021 update: chat embedding works again. Uses the same syntax as before. As per a helpful comment below.
Details
The YouTube knowledge base still says that embedding a live chat iframe into an external website is still possible, using a URL like the one you posted (see here, in section "Embed Live chat").
However, when trying that and looking into the browser's console, you will see a message like this:
Refused to display 'https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=12345&embed_domain=example.com' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.
You can also see that x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN header in the "Network" tab of the browser's developer tools when looking at the response to the https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?… request.
This means that YouTube does not want a browser to embed this into an iframe except when embedded on youtube.com itself. (On YouTube itself, this embed code still works: when you inspect the source code of any currently streaming live video on YouTube, you will find that the live chat window there is made with that same /live_chat?… request, in an iframe.)
Additional indications that this feature has been removed:
The YouTube documentation mentions:
The Live chat module only exists on the YouTube watch pages — it does not follow embedded players. (source)
I believe that's the new part of the documentation, and the section "Embed live chat" further down is outdated.
This tutorial from 2016 uses the documented URL format to embed an example live chat near the bottom, and it now shows the same "Refused to display […] in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'." Assuming that this worked in 2016, something must have changed on YouTube's side.
This Reddit thread tells how somebody's embedded live chat suddenly stopped working in early September 2018 – so shortly before this question got asked.
Alternatives
You could use the YouTube Livestream API, in particular the LiveChatMessages endpoint, to get and create chat messages. There are probably open source libraries around to help with this. So far, I found this one (able to display but not create chat messages).
You could embed your own chat, either installed on your own server or a cloud-hosted livestream chat solution. This solution can also provide features that YouTube live chat does not provide, such as allowing anonymous visitors to post.
You could reverse proxy the https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?… URL, forwarding YouTube's response but with the X-Frame-Options header removed.
If you only need a solution for one or a few computers, you could use a browser extension to remove the X-Frame-Options header from YouTube's response. See this question.
This appears to have to do with the introduction of this change to iframes, at least when I had this issue.
To fix this, I would suggest the use of a script like the following:
<script>
let frame = document.createElement("iframe");
frame.referrerPolicy = "origin";
frame.src = "https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=VIDEO_ID&embed_domain=" + window.location.hostname;
frame.frameBorder = "0";
frame.id = "chat-embed";
let wrapper = document.getElementById("chat-embed-wrapper");
wrapper.appendChild(frame);
</script>
Where chat-embed-wrapper is the parent of the iframe with the id chat-embed and VIDEO_ID (in the frame.src assignment) is the id of your target video. You'll have to modify this a little for your setup, but this is the general case solution.
Simple solution for Angular :
HTML part :
<iframe frameborder="0" height="470" [src]="url" width="780"></iframe>
TS part :
constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.url = this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl('https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=[YOUR_LIVESTREAM_ID]&embed_domain=' + window.location.hostname);
}
I'm not sure if you got this working in the end? We have managed to get it working on our site using this iframe, hope it helps you:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=YourVidCodeHere&embed_domain=www.YourDomainHere.com"width="100%" height="600"></iframe>
I hope that helps:) PS it doesn't work on mobile (YouTube said they have removed this feature from mobile), but it does work on desktop and tab.
Best wishes.
I can confirm this indeed works. However, I received the same X Frame error when embed_domain had the value "example.com" even though the url of the page started with "https://www.example.com". i.e. ensure the value matches window.location.hostname. Addison Crump's workaround could work for this if you do not have canonical host redirection working.
I'd like to know whether there's a way to directly embed a vimeo video into a website or whether there's a way to get a stable link to the MP4 file.
E.g. this page: http://www.landfunker.de/ktv/detail.php?rubric=93&nr=86411. The video is only launched when accessing it from that page. In the source code, I see links like
fpdl.vimeocdn.com/vimeo-prod-skyfire-std-us/01/3026/7/190133161/631209312.mp4?token=587a20e2_0xece9d9d127813f2b792edb30032d4d9b0a7c484f
However, the tokens expire, right. Any tips? Any workarounds.thx
Use the Vimeo iframe embed code to embed videos on your site:
https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/sections/203874347-Embedding-Videos
https://developer.vimeo.com/apis/oembed
To get the MP4 links for video files, you'll need to be a Vimeo PRO or Business member. Video file links are returned in the individual video's response from the API.
GET https://api.vimeo.com/videos/[video_id]
You can use the API's JSON fields filter to only return the video file links:
GET https://api.vimeo.com/videos/[video_id]?fields=files
Finally, note that you can only retrieve the video file links for videos on your own PRO or Business account. Vimeo does not provide a way to retrieve the video file links for videos on other user accounts.
API documentation can be found here: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/start
You can definitely embed a Vimeo video into a website - Vimeo provides instructions on their website:
To get your video's embed code, go to its video page and click the Share button. Then click the +Show options link that appears above the embed code field to reveal a preview of your embedded video with the Basic customization options. Once you've made your adjustments, you can copy the embed code and paste it wherever you'd like to embed your video.
They also provide an API based embed approach using oEmbed. There is a JavaSCript example using this here:
https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo-oembed-examples/blob/master/oembed/js-example.html
This basically calls the API with the URL of the video to embed and the response includes HTML which you append to your page.
I have the code below which is a perfect solution to what I need, which would essentially be embedding any of JPG, GIF, PNG or PDF files in my webpages. It works perfectly in PC browsers, but a critical requirement for the pages is to have them compatible in mobile browsers due to its target users.
<iframe src="uploads/test1.pdf" width="auto" height="auto"> </iframe>
Although image files work fine, PDF files are opened separately in the mobile browser and not embedded inline in the web page. What would be an alternative solution or implementation to this?
You can use PDFJs library. Using just JS you can render pdf files.
Please , check here : https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/
One simple option is that the the object element provides a fallback, so you can do:
<object data='some.pdf'>
<p>Oops! Your browser doesn't support PDFs!</p>
<p>Download Instead</p>
</object>
Then, when the mobile browser can't get the item, it'll just show this and you'll be all set, kinda.
Here is my solution to this problem.
<object data="mypdf.pdf" type="application/pdf" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="600px" style="padding: 20px;">
<embed src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CRFdbp6uBDE-YKJFaqRm4uy9Z4wgMS7H/preview?usp=sharing" width="100%" height="600px"/>
</object>
Explanation:
<object> tag has a feature that when it is unable to load item, it loads the content inside itself i.e tag.
Since object tag cannot load on mobile view, therefore on mobile devices, embed tag will become active.
Q) Why can't we directly use tag for all cases?
You can actually, but since the embed tag is loading file from
drive, it does not gives any user controls for the pdf that we see
with object tag (zoom, page no., etc.). So our code will give the user pdf view controls atleast in the desktop mode instead of not giving any controls at all.
Q) Direct drive links don't work....so why this solution?
In the above google drive URL, view is changed to preview.
drive.google.com/file/d/1CRFdbp6uBDE-YKJFaqRm4uy9Z4wgMS7H/view?usp=sharing
becomes,
drive.google.com/file/d/1CRFdbp6uBDE-YKJFaqRm4uy9Z4wgMS7H/preview?usp=sharing
So, we can make direct drive links work with this little modification
Google Docs viewer offers a feature, that lets you embed PDF files and PowerPoint presentations on a web page.
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:100%; height:650px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
replace the URL(http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf) with your own address, It's worked for me but it takes more time to load on
src:http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/09/embeddable-google-document-viewer.html?utm_source=pocket_mylist
The only way I have found, which allows you to embed pdf is using Google drive, then select the menu button once you have opened your file, and select get embed code, you can only use a Google drive or Google docs reference. And you must also turn public sharing on otherwise others won't be able to view it without permission.
Using Adobe PDF Embed API solved my problem.
Adobe PDF Embed API
I ran into the same issue. As a new developer, I wasn't aware that mobile browsers have issues embedding PDF files in iframes. I am now... lol
I racked my resources trying to get this to work when it dawned on me that mobile browsers do not have an issue displaying PNG files in a new window. So, in my infinite wisdom, I opened the PDF files in Gimp 2.0 then exported them as PNG files. And then I created buttons for the user to click and now it opens the graphic instead of trying to embed the PDF.
Looks like this:
<input class="AG" id="UnityBtn" type="button" value="Unity" onclick="location.href='../Meeting_Info/Unity.png'" />
I don't know if this is possible for you, but it worked beautifully for me.
Use an object tag with a iframe tag inside your object tags.
The object data can be a pdf or png file by changing the type and can use any link you want stored wherever, however the I frame is the one which will be loaded for mobiles which has to be a link from Google drive or Google docs you also need to allow the files to be shared public otherwise others won't be able to view them.
I would share the code but this site has some rubbish rules about code and won't let me share them so I'll leave you to Google how object and iframe tags work by viewing better sites that actually wants the help from developers.
Have fun guys!
This is my current website: http://acrossuhubsubmissions.tumblr.com/ .
As you see, I'm using iFrames to embed part of the Dropbox onto my tumblr website. The Dropbox page is a public sharing page. The html code that I'm using to display the Dropbox:
<left>
<iframe src ="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d9ulw65twvxrrhi/AACHsXLlXUSan4Zx4hGC8BDja?lst" width="777px" height="777px" scrolling="yes" >
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe></left>
I used the exact same code for the Google speadsheet webpage, and that seemed to show up. Does anyone know why the Dropbox webpage isn't showing up on my tumblr page?
I was able to embed a Dropbox video like this;
First, create a share link to the video, then modify the link by changing the ?dl=0 at the end to ?raw=1 and then using this code...
<iframe width="800" height="450"
src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/nwg6px2i8si18w9/Oh%20Deer%21.mp4?raw=1
&autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
NOT recommended for high bandwidth uses, as you might be banned from Dropbox (read this https://www.dropbox.com/help/security/banned-links.)
It is not possible to display that dropbox link in an iFrame not originating from outside the dropbox.com domain. The reason why is because they include the following header in their response:
X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/X-Frame-Options for more information on this header. Browser supporting this flag will not load the content in an iframe.
See the documentation on dropbox how to user their api to embed content:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/dropins
Better use OneDrive, it gives you embed link. [I know it's an old question but it might be helpful if you didn't knew it already]
You can use the "public link".
Copy the file into the dropbox public folder and now you can use the public link to embed in a frame.
I am trying to embed a company PowerPoint presentation into an intranet website and am having some issues. I tried converting to pdf and embedding it with this html:
<object data="myFile.pdf" type="application/pdf" width='100%' height="8000px">
<p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.You can <a href="myFile.pdf">click here to
download the PDF file.</a></p>
</object>
but there is a link in the ppt that stops linking correctly somehow. So I tried converting to an htm page and doing a javascript redirect to that page but I get a page that just says my browser doesnt have the correct plugin to open the pdf.
And unfortunately, being a company project, we aren't allowed to use commercially available cloud storage (ie: Google Docs, Onedrive, etc.) for security and privacy purposes. Are there other ways to embed the powerpoint, not using 3rd party software?
