Embedding contentCopy link to clipboard
- Not all content can be embedded. The best way to know if your content can be embedded or not is to test it. If it can't be embedded, the component will be empty. Some sources explicitly prevent being embedded, such as https://www.google.com and https://www.yahoo.com/.
- Screen readers will typically announce the embedded page's title (found in the
<title>attribute). When no title is provided, thealtTextvalue is used.
