The embed card lets you integrate almost any object you find on the web straight into a Sana Course or Live, simply by pasting the URL into the card.

How does it work?
The card works by identifying embeddable objects from the URL you paste in the card. You might have noticed that the card doesn't display exactly what is on the web page you link to, but rather an object from it. For instance, in the case of the YouTube video, the card only displays the video itself, and not the comment section, recommended section, search bar, etc.
How do I know what object from my URL the card will display?
It varies from site to site - depending on what the creator of the site has decided.
Why won't the card display it correctly?
There are a few reasons that this could happen, including:
The website is only private access - you may need to change page settings to allow public sharing (NOTE: sometimes when changing this setting it can take up to a minute to update)
The website requires a paid subscription to allow their data to be shared publicly
The website doesn’t allow for embeddable content

What does the "Rich embed" button do?
Try to disable it if the embedding doesn't work. The card will then use iframe instead of Iframely.
