Embed a Live Website or Widget in an Update | Safe And Reliable Care Help Center

With our new rich Update editor, users have the ability to embed the URL of an external website and "live-stream" that website using iframe.

To do so,

create a new update
select the three dots on the far right
select "< >" code view

paste in iframe code
click "< >" code view again to load the code
add a title
save

Here is the John's Hopkins COVID-19 Dashboard as an example:

<p><iframe src="https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/85320e2ea5424dfaaa75ae62e5c06e61" width="100%" frameborder="0" style="border:0;height:65vh;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>

You can essentially swap out that link for most websites as long as you put the code in <p><iframe src=" your link here " width="100%" frameborder="0" style="border:0;height:65vh;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>

Try this with any iFrame widget for the same result!

NOTE:

If you receive the "refused to connect" error, this means that the website you are attempting to embed is set to block external sites from embedding. Unfortunately, this is a setting that only the developers of that website can manipulate so we cannot offer a solution.
