Embedding webpages/documents into your OrgPages

GOOGLE APPS, PART 2

This window appears where you can click on "copy link". After you paste it into OrgPad in the section shown in the green cell and click on "OK", you will see that the document/spreadsheets/etc. is inserted in the OrgPage and you can directly edit the file from it.

YOUTUBE EMBED OPTIONS

So what do you see here? You can just copy the link if you want to  embed the video in a standard way.
If you're currently in some part of the video and you want the video to start playing in that certain time, you can tick the option "start at <time>".
If you don't want the pause button, drag bar, subtitles settings etc. to be displayed, you can disable "show player controls".
The third thing is explained itself.

WHERE TO FIND THAT ON YOUTUBE?

WHAT DOES EMBEDDING MEAN?

If you are working on a project, work with study materials etc. in Google docs, Google spreadsheets, you have a YouTube video or work with Wikipedia and many others, you don't have to leave your browser opened with many windows for each of them.

Instead of drowning in all of the materials, you can directly embed all of them into OrgPad using "iframe" from HTML - it is easy, fast and comfortable.

EMBEDDING OTHER ORGPAGES

After clicking on the share option in the top left corner, you have to select "links" and "embed into your website". A window with a code appears, you just click on copy and paste it right there:

DOESN'T ONLY WORK FOR YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE APPS!

The code YouTube and Google apps give you is basically just an HTML code. You can find every basic thing about it you could need on this website right here.
The basic format you need to type in the OrgPad's embed section is following:
<iframe src="[URL address]" height="[height]" width="[width]"></iframe>
where you need to put the quotation marks around the parameters.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO WORK ON EVERY WEBSITE!

While some websites other than YouTube and Google apps can support the embed option directly (you can find it somewhere in their "share" options), not every single website has to support it at all.

Some examples are things like twitch, where you need to log in or they just don't want others to use them - e.g. they only want the content to be watched on their website if they earn money from ads etc.

Of course none of the payment platforms (internet banking, paypal etc.) support the embed option.

It also may also cause problems on websites you have to log in after you haven't visited it for a long time.
