iFrames Integration

iFrames offer the possibility to embed content from other websites at a desired location – e.g., embedding a Lecture2Go video in your own course on the learning platform.

However, embedding is often prohibited for security reasons and is therefore not available on all platforms or only for certain services (e.g., Lecture2Go).

For technical reasons, the following combinations are currently not possible, and it is necessary to use links instead:

  • UHHPad (HedgeDoc) embedding on OpenOlat
  • TaskCards embedding on OpenOlat/Moodle
  • Lecture2Go embedding on UHHPad (HedgeDoc)

Example code for a Lecture2Go video

Example code for H5P content from the RRZ H5P upload (the parts that need to be adapted are underlined)
