Iframe blocks

Iframe blocks embed interactive content from other websites directly inside a slide. Use them for maps, videos, prototypes, data visualizations, 3D models, and other web experiences that are designed to be embedded.

Add an iframe

  1. Select Iframe from the insert toolbar.
  2. Paste a complete HTTPS URL or iframe embed code into Iframe Source.
  3. Move and resize the block to fit the slide.

The source website must allow its pages to be embedded. Slides displays a warning if the address is insecure or the website's security settings prevent it from loading in an iframe.

Configure an iframe

Select the block to edit its source and appearance. You can adjust its size, position, padding, corner radius, opacity, border, shadow, blur, and animation.

Enable Preload when the embedded content needs extra time to load. Slides then starts loading it a few slides before it becomes visible. Preloading is not recommended for content that should autoplay.

For YouTube and Vimeo embeds, you can also enable Autoplay. See YouTube and Vimeo videos for the complete workflow.

Use an iframe as the slide background

An iframe can fill the entire slide as an interactive background. This works well for immersive web content, maps, prototypes, and visualizations.

Right-click the iframe block and select Use iframe as slide background.
