Embed Content

The embedded content feature allows conceptboard users to add external content to their boards via the insert menu. This feature brings new functionality to the boards, without the need of building fully native CCB features. For example, users are now able to enter a spreadsheet file via Embedded content and use it as a table.

ℹ️ Plan and Role restrictions

Embedded content is available for Premium, Business, Enterprise or Education plans. 

Team members with editor board access rights can embed content. Reviewers and readers can only see the content inserted by editors on the boards. To know more about Board roles consult this page.

What's embedded content?

The embedded content feature uses iFrames to display content from external applications on a board.

iFrame stands for inline frames - by using a URL or an embed code, it is possible to embed third-party elements on boards, such as documents, audio files, and online videos.

How to embed content?

Important note: Embedding is only possible for publicly shared content i.e. URLs that are publicly available. Any URLs that lead to an intranet, locally hosted file, etc. cannot be embedded.

To embed content from an external application:

1. Select Embedded content from the insert menu

2. Type or paste the URL or embed code into the field provided

3. Select Insert and the content will be inserted to the board

Enable embedded content on Team settings

This feature must be activated by the team administrator, as it is disabled by default. The team admin must navigate to the team settings page and scroll to the bottom to activate it. 

Allow Embedding Only Specific Domains

Team Administrators can manage a list of allowed domains for embedded content in the team settings.

• If the list is empty, all domains will be allowed for embedding.
• To restrict domains, add the allowed domain names to the list, separating each with a comma.

For example, adding the domain youtube.com to the list will block all other domains apart from Youtube.com.

Important note: Already existing embedded content on any boards will be disabled if its domain is not included in the allowed list.
